I managed to override the class but later I realize that I did not want to have this behaviour for all the T5 standard components :(
So using a decorator fits better because I can reuse the original approach in the case I don´t find the template in the fileSystem. This is a first version of the code in case is useful for someone. Please nothe that this uses a very basic approach to build the name of the file. A file resource is built using URIResource (thanks to the chillenkit project) which admits several constructors and one of them is File public PageTemplateLocator decoratePageTemplateLocator( final PageTemplateLocator original) { return new PageTemplateLocator() { public Resource findPageTemplateResource( ComponentModel componentModel, Locale locale) { String pageName = getLogicalName(componentModel); boolean useClassPath = pageName == null; Resource resource = null; if (useClassPath) { System.out.println("Searching in classpath"); resource = original.findPageTemplateResource( componentModel, locale); } else { String path = format("%s.%s", pageName, InternalConstants.TEMPLATE_EXTENSION); System.out.println("Reading file: " + "C:\\temp\\" + path); if (path != null) { File file = new File("C:\\temp\\" + path); try { resource = new URIResource(file); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block System.out.println("Error file not found!!!!"); resource = original.findPageTemplateResource( componentModel, locale); } } } return resource; } }; } I,m able to load external pages and having some issues with component templates. But I´ll find out how to fix it. Thanks everybody fot your support. I think now I´ve become a new T5 user and I like what I see ;) -- View this message in context: http://tapestry-users.832.n2.nabble.com/How-to-load-tml-files-from-the-filesystem-instead-of-classpath-tp5009386p5011570.html Sent from the Tapestry Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
