    CMS Tags are not rendered in JSP's in Magnolia 4.5.1
    #1 by danielkueffer on Mar 14, 2012 9:58:52 AM

    Hello,

    I'm working with the Magnolia Tomcat Bundle 4.5.1
    I'm working with JSP Templates. My main page template looks as follows:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
    <jsp:root version="2.0" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page"
    xmlns:cms="cms-taglib"
    xmlns:cmsu="cms-util-taglib"
    xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core">

    <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

    <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html>]]>
    <html>
    <head>
    <title><cms:out nodeDataName="title"/></title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <cms:init/>

    <h1><cms:out nodeDataName="title"/></h1>
    </body>
    </html>
    </jsp:root>

    My problem is, that the cms Tags are not rendered. They are just printet out in the source code. In Catalina out is no error. And the renderType in the Page Template is set to jsp.

    In Magnolia 4.4 works everything as usual. So i'm not sure if something is wrong with my setup in 4.5.1?

    Thanks in advance for a response.

    I haven't tried 4.5 myself yet, but the release notes mention a migration process from 4.4.6 to 4.5: http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/releases/4-5-1.html#HowtomigratefromMagnoliaCMS446 There are also some renamed dependencies and magnolia-templating-jsp is a new optional dependency. It looks like you need that one if you use JSP in your templates.

    Thanks for the reply,

    I placed now magnolia-templating-jsp, magnolia-templating-compatibility-taglib-cms and magnolia-templating-compatibility-taglib-utility in WEB-INF/lib.

    But the problem remains the same, cms tags are still not rendered. Is there something else i have to do?

    Hi, where you find the magnolia-templating-compatibility?

    In magnolia 4.5 how is possible to make the page editable in jsp? What is the clean way?

    If I am following this link:

    Hi,

    The 4.5 templating has changed. We think its much easier to learn and we support more use cases (inheritance, auto-generation, ...) out of the box. We have also alligned the basic templating and STK. Now that STK is GPL licensed as well, you should consider using it for your projects.

    We are currently writing a 'Template Migration Reference Card', but for the moment the best resources are:

    - New templating tutorial
    --> http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/templates/introduction.html

    - Templating Quick Reference (will became the migration reference card)
    --> http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/dms/templates/Magnolia-CMS-Templating-4-5-Quick-Reference/Magnolia%20CMS%20Templating%204.5%20Quick%20Reference.pdf

    - Release Notes
    --> http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/releases/4-5-1.html

    - Migration Documentation (see sub pages)
    -- http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/DEV/How+to+migrate+your+project

    For the moment we recommend to wait with migrations of projects until migration tooling and documentation is a bit more polished. But in case you start a new project it is best to go with 4.5, as 5.0 will ship with the same templating.

    Hi Philipp,

    I am following the link "New templating tutorial" in the section "Making the page editable" there are two version: Freemarker and JSP. I have copied the JSP version. The taglib statement give me and error. It look like the Magnolia CE 4.5.1 does not contains this taglib.

    Is the documentation out of sync? I am missing somethink? Is the taglib optional? If yes where can I download it?

    Thanks for the feedback. We currently bundle only FreeMarker but I agree that this is an unnecessary obstacle for JSP developers.

    I created a ticked to change that.
    --> http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MAGNOLIA-4348

    Fro the moment you find it in the samples add-on (if you download the bundle) together with JSP samples.

    Note: you can get all artifacts from our nexus (maven repository). The link in this case would be:
    --> http://nexus.magnolia-cms.com/index.html#nexus-search;gav~info.magnolia~magnolia-templating-jsp~4.5.1~~
