I have a Web module with “Standard Web” doclet.
I added webspherewebxml in order to generate IBM specific files and I got an exception:

webspherewebxml: ‘templateFile’ parameter missing. Specify both ‘destinationFile’ and ‘templateFile’ configuration parameters please.

There are 2 problems:
1) The templates are located in xdoclet-ibm-module-1.2.jar but myeclipse doesn’t seem to find them
2) There are 2 templates so which one should I use? I can add anoter webspherewebxml line but I hope there is another way to get both of them. 🙁

The thing is, this behaviour works fine when I add weblogicwebxml to the webdoclet.- System Setup ——————————-

Sorry for the delay in replying, but we need to research this one further and everyone is tied up trying to get the 2.8 beta out the door. This may be a problem in XDoclet itself or in our internal configuration, but we just won’t be able to tell without a good bit of research. Thanks in advance for your patience.

Hope it helpes:
The XDoclet docs sais the templateFile should be specified when the webspherewebxml is a nested element.
I believe this is the case in our situation.
When I extracted the files from the jar listed in my first note and set the templateFile attribute it worked,
so from first view it seems like some myeclipse-XDoclet integration issue.
BTW Since IBM uses 2 files it is not clear which template-file to use.

Will be glad to help

This xdoclet issue along with a few other fixes/enhancements are going to be fixed at the same time that xdoclet 1.2.1 support is upgraded in MyEclipse, which is slated for 2.8 beta2. This release will be out a few weeks after 2.8 beta1 which is due VERY SOON.

When will it be available and will it be available for non members. Since we are testing several development environment and currenly this bug rules out MyEclipse. (And I do want to use it instead of WSAD or IntelliJ)

When will it be available and will it be available for non members.

Our software is made available to everyone at the same time. We did away with the “member” and “nonmember” access differences with the 2.7 GA and 3.7 GA releases.

The beta2 release is slated for the week after next / mid-June. We want to wrap up the M9 work, get it out the door, then converge on a new release and push that out. Unfortunately, the M9 porting work was so extensive that it put us a few days behind our development schedule due to the resources it required.
