Error description

• Page Designer in Portlet project does not show files included wi
  th relative path.
  Steps to reproduce in Rational Application Developer 7.5.3:
  A. New Dynamic Web Project 2.4, EAR 1.4, Targeting IBM Websphere
   Application Server 6.0
  1. Add facets:
  
  - Design time template support
  
  - Java Server faces
  
  2. Create two JSP Fragments inside a WebContent\fragments
  
  - f1.jspf
  
  - f2.jspf
  
  3. Create a Faces JSP in WebContent
  
  - BasePage.JSP
  
  4. Add a jsp:include and browse to f1.jspf. This creates a relat
  ive path
  in the include tag.
  
  5. Add a f:subview with inside a jsp:include and browse to f2.js
  pf. This
  creates a relative path in the include tag.
  
  
  
  Results: In the Page Designer I can see both fragments. OK.
  
  
  
  B. Create a new Portlet project for JSR 168 Portlets, of type, S
  truts,
  associated with IBM WebSphere Portal 6
  
  1. I add the facet:
  
  - Design time Page template support
  
  
  
  2. Doing New-?WebPage, the template for creating a Fragment is n
  ot
  available.
  
  
  
  3. Create a JSP inside a directory called WebContent\fragments
  
  
  
  4. Create another JSP inside WebContents
  
  
  
  5. Add a jsp:include and browse to WebContent\fragments\f1.jsp.
  
  from the properties View
  
  
  
  The path is stored as relative:
  
  
  
  ?jsp:include page=fragments/f1.jsp'??/jsp:include?
  
  
  
  Result:
  
  
  
  The Page designer does not show the fragment.
  
  
  
  Note: If you change the path to be absolute:
  
  
  
  ?jsp:include page=./fragments/f1.jsp'??/jsp:include?
  
  
  
  then page designer will show the path.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• jspf fragments when incuded in a JSP are not visualized in
  the page designer.
  

Problem conclusion

• The path to the jspf fragments missed a check to see if they
  need to be expanded during the link genration which has been
  fixed.
