Hi Sven,
If I understand correctly you want to check for the existence of a
template on the servlet path (war) first,
and if not found try and load it from the classpath (standard-package).
Here is some code that returns the template name depending on the
above criteria:
public String getTemplateToRender() {
// Derive template name from page name
String templateName = getClass().getSimpleName();
String templatePath = "/click/" + templateName + ".htm";
try {
Context context = getContext();
// First check for template on the servlet context path
hasTemplate =
context.getServletContext().getResource(templatePath) != null;
if (hasTemplate) {
return templatePath;
} else {
// Otherwise return the class path as the template e.g.
com.myapp.control.MyPanel.htm
templatePath = getClass().getName();
templatePath = '/' + templatePath.replace('.', '/') + ".htm";
return templatePath;
}
Click can render templates from both servlet path and classpath, so
the above should be all you need.
Do you need to cater for Page templates or Control templates or both?
kind regards
bob
