Broadleaf Commerce Discussion Forums

Following http://github.com/BroadleafCommerce/docs/issues/8

Updated to be a bit more coherent and work with Jrebel.

This guide uses Broadleaf 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, and this is by no means a way to solve the following issue

Issue: I want the application to handle generating my URL's

Solution: The following Javascript File named "category-extension.js"

In your Admin module, under your webapp directory, add a directory called "js" without quotes.

Place your Javascript file under "/js"

Now open your applicationContext-admin.xml

Put the following before the "blJsResources" Bean:

This tells BLC where my JS files are located with the Bean id of "blMyAdminJsLocations"


Code: Select all

<bean id="blMyAdminJsLocations" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ListFactoryBean">
        <property name="sourceList">
            <list>
                <value>/js/</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>



This tells BLC to merge the additional location "blMyAdminJsLocations" with the frameworks, "blJsLocations"


Code: Select all

<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.common.extensibility.context.merge.LateStageMergeBeanPostProcessor">
        <property name="collectionRef" value="blMyAdminJsLocations" />
        <property name="targetRef" value="blJsLocations" />
    </bean>



Add this before the "blJsFileMap" bean:

This maps the file to the bean "blMyAdminJsFileList" if your file is under another sub directory say your path to the file is /admin/js/category/category-extension.js then your value would be "category/category-extension.js"


Code: Select all

 <bean id="blMyAdminJsFileList" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ListFactoryBean" >
        <property name="sourceList">
            <list>
                <value>category-extension.js</value>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>


Merge the bean "blMyAdminJsFileList" to the "blJsFileList" (Contains a record of all the files to load)


Code: Select all

<bean class="org.broadleafcommerce.common.extensibility.context.merge.LateStageMergeBeanPostProcessor">
        <property name="collectionRef" value="blMyAdminJsFileList" />
        <property name="targetRef" value="blJsFileList" />
    </bean>


All the JS files relative URLs are auto pre-pended with "admin/js/" under the default configuration
