Web-ContextParams: webAppRootKey, SpringExtender-Attribute

[Beta User]

Hello,

Petclinic example has some manifest headers which I don't understand:

Web-ContextParams: webAppRootKey;param-value:="petclinic.root"
SpringExtender-Attribute: Petclinic

How do they work during bundle initialization?

Which values should I put there when I have two Web modules in my PAR,
one of which imports another.

(I have problems with this case, so want to clarify all configurations first)

Hi Olex,

Unfortunately the sample is a little bit out of step with the Platform and it's using incorrect manifest headers in its Web module. A new version of the Petclinic sample that corrects this will be published soon.

Ok, thank you.

Waiting for new sample

Olex,

Rather than waiting for the new sample to be published here's a copy of the Petclinic Web module's MANIFEST.MF that's been trimmed down to only what's needed:

Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-SymbolicName: org.springframework.petclinic.web
Bundle-Name: Petclinic Sample Web Module
Bundle-Vendor: SpringSource Inc.
Import-Library: org.springframework.spring;version="[2.5,2.6)"
Import-Bundle: com.springsource.org.apache.taglibs.standard;versi on="[1.1.2,1.1.2]"
Import-Package: org.springframework.petclinic.domain,
org.springframework.petclinic.repository
Platform-ModuleType: Web
Web-ContextPath: petclinic
Web-DispatcherServletUrlPatterns: *.do

The SpringExtender-Attribute header is an old header that's not needed/supported so this has been removed.
The Web-ContextParams header wasn't needed in this case, so it's been removed too. It allows you to specify the equivalent of web.xml's <context-param> entries. For example a manifest header of:

Web-ContextParams: javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX;param-value:=".xhtml",foo;param-value:="bar"

Is equivalent to the following in web.xml:

<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX</param-name>
<param-value>.xhtml</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>foo</param-name>
<param-value>bar</param-value>
</context-param>

I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any further questions.

Thank you, Andy

I cleaned up manifests, but it seems like a bug exists
