This is related to WW-4145, I think. When upgrading to 2.3.16, we're receiving the following error messages for our locally created theme. This theme builds off of the simple theme, but mostly includes "custom" controlheader and controlfooter elements. The issue we're seeing is that struts seems to be looking for "inherited" files (e.g. css.ftl from the simple theme) in our custom theme instead of the parent theme (in our case simple).
This only happens when we use two input themes on the same page: <!-- start page --> <@s.textarea name="test2" theme="tdar" label="test2"/> <@s.textarea name="test" theme="xhtml" label="test" /> <!-- end page --> Our theme lives in src/main/webapps/template. We're not overriding the templateDir directive anywhere. Our theme "tdar" contains the following files: - checkbox.ftl - checkboxlist.ftl - controlfooter.ftl - controlheader.ftl - controllabel.ftl - file.ftl - hidden.ftl - password.ftl - radiomap.ftl - select.ftl - text.ftl - textarea.ftl - theme.properties When loading a page that uses only the textarea: <@s.textarea name="test" theme="tdar" /> we receive the following error: Caused by: freemarker.core._MiscTemplateException: Error reading included file "template/~~~tdar/css.ftl": Template "template/~~~tdar/css.ftl" not found. The failing instruction (print stack trace for 1 more): ==> #include "/\${parameters.templateDir}... [in template "template/simple/textarea.ftl" at line 42, column 1] the textarea.ftl contains: <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/${parameters.theme}/controlheader.ftl" /><#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/simple/textarea.ftl" /> <#include "/${parameters.templateDir}/${parameters.theme}/controlfooter.ftl" /> note, I've tried change parameters.theme to parameters.expandTheme as documented here: http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/extending-themes.html our theme.properties contains: parent=simple is anyone else seeing this? Or, are we missing something with our configuration? thanks, adam _________________________________________________________ Adam Brin Director of Technology, Digital Antiquity 480.965.1278
