Hey,
I want to build my new web-application with the racket-webserver, so I have
worked through the continue-tutorial.
Now i want to improve the simple blog from the tutorial to learn more
web-server tecniques which leads to some questions:
- I've tried to change that application to use templates. (It' would be nice
to include that in the tutorial!)
The relevant part of template with all posts look like this:
@in[p posts]{
<div class="post">
<a href="@????">@(post-title p)
<p>@(post-body p)</p>
<div>@(number->string (length (post-comments p))) comment(s)</div>
</a>
</div>
}
</div>
What ist he best way to fill the @???? - because that is a specific url for
every post generated by embed/url in the racket-application so it can't be
accessed with selectors like the other parts.
- As an alternative, I was thinking about using a url like this
"?id=@(post-id p)" but then i read in the docs that it is not recommended to
use extract-binding/single. But how can i create "permanent-urls" for
linking from other sites etc when i should not use get-parameters?
- As a consequence, I've tried the web-server/dispatch with the
small-example in the docs. (It would also be nice if this topic is treated
in the continue-tutorial)
The example runs successful when starting from drracket:
(require web-server/dispatch
web-server/servlet-env)
(define-values (blog-dispatch blog-url)
(dispatch-rules
[("") list-posts]
[("posts" (string-arg)) review-post]))
(define (list-posts req)
(response/xexpr
`(body "list-posts")))
(define (review-post req p)
(response/xexpr
`(body ,(string-append "review-posts " p))))
(serve/servlet blog-dispatch
#:servlet-path "/"
#:servlet-regexp #rx"" ;But is this "the right way"?
#:launch-browser? #t)
But - how do I run that on the plt-web-server? I have removed the
serve/servlet and added
(define interface-version 'v1)
(define timeout +inf.0)
(define start blog-dispatch)
(provide interface-version timeout start)
but that leads to the follwing error:
servlet-error-responder: contract violation
expected: exn?, given: #<exn:dispatcher>
in: the 2nd argument of
(-> url? exn? response?)
contract from:
<collects>/web-server/configuration/responders.rkt
blaming:
<collects>/web-server/web-config-unit.rkt
at: <collects>/web-server/configuration/responders.rkt:126.2
What do I have to do to run this code on the server?
Thanks,
Helmut
