I have a question about spring roo. How can you add a custom page

  • 0

I have a question about spring roo.

How can you add a custom page to your web application? It seems really basic and easy if I’m using standard Servlet, but I’m totally confused to do this in Spring roo.
All I want to have is a link in main page (with the menus etc) that links to my custom page.

I have tried to add a new Servlet to the application, setting its path mapping to /custompage. but when I access http://localhost:8080/myapp/custompage , it shows that the resource is unavailable.

I also can’t add a link in the main page, I have tried to edit the menu.jspx directly and it fails.

Can anyone shed me light on this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    First of all edit your {project_root}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/webmvc-config.xml and add new mvc:view-controller definition for your new page. Something like:

    <mvc:view-controller path="/custompage" />

    Then open {project_root}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/views.xml and add the following definition:

      <definition extends="public" name="custompage">
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/views/custompage.jspx"/>
  </definition>

    And add your custompage.jspx to the {project_root}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/ folder.

    And then edit {project_root}/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/menu.jspx and new menu:item with url="/custompage".

    I think it should work.
