[Opensource] Réf. : Re: [Opensource] Réf. : [Opensource] Expressoin Jbuilder6

[Thierry Clement]

Hi,

I am quite a newcomer to Expresso but one of the first thing I did was to 
install Expresso on JBuilder6 and recompile all the source files and make 
a Web App work with it.
Environment : expresso 4-02 - JDK 1.3.1 - tomcat 4.01
Here is mainly  what I did for that (I am not sure it is the most 
appropriate but it worked) :

- create Web app with JBuilder - choose name, ...etc.

- use expresso4-02-complete.jar - extract all what was under 
weabpps/expresso/... so that the WEB-INF subdir of that tree coincides 
with the WEB-INF directory created by JBuilder
(it means that if you chose name "testApp" for you Web app, you must have 
in the end a directory testApp/WEB-INF/ with subdirs with all .class or 
.jar from expresso and also a directory testApp/expresso/ with subdirs 
containing docs, jsp files, ...etc.

- delete all .class from the testApp/WEB-INF/classes subdirs

- move (with recurse folders) all java source files that were adjacent to 
the .class to another "srcExpresso" directory that you will place for 
example under your project main directory

- in your project's properties, select the path for the sources so that it 
includes this new directory "srcExpresso"  Also set the path for the 
libraries so that it includes all the libs furnished with Expresso (in 
fact I moved the corresponding jar files to other directories not 
pertaining to the project dir) and I defined JBuilder libraries through 
menu Tools/Configure libraries [normally - if correctly set, directory 
WEB-INF/lib will be automatically repopulated with the proper libraries as 
you run "build project"]

- as you recompile everything, you will notice that there is some pb. with 
"StrongEncryption" and "genco" demo files, so remove all reference to that 
(there was something in the forum about this subject recently) - go on 
until you get no errors

- launch your project web app with tomcat included with Jbuilder (check it 
is version 4 and NOT 3.02)

- then you should be able to work with your own classes and jsps and make 
it work with expresso by registrating your app through the "configuration" 
menu of expresso (accessible through 
http://localhost:8080/testApp/expresso/frame.jsp)

Hope it helps...
