Chris,

In answer to you questions,
1) Don't know for this one, I was not part of the turbine-dev team, I'd
personally recommend simply using it as is.

2) Early in my last email I kinda touched upon this. I'll try to elaborate
on mapping templates to classes. Lets say you have a screen template called
called Chris.vm and its in a directory ./templates/ChrisLogin.vm

You need to have a screen class called ChrisLogin.java in a package
hierarchy called ca.cs.student.screens.ChrisLogin

Next you need to let Turbine know where to find it:
module.packages=ca.cs.student

or you could map it differently such as:
module.packages=ca.cs

Then your package structure would have to be something like
ca.cs.screens.ChrisLogin

3) So Assuming
<a class="inglink"
href="$link.setPage("admin,user,FluxUserForm.vm").addPathInfo("rdfid",1000)S
imple message &nbsp</a>

It should go to ca.cs.screen.admin.user.FluxUserForm and within the
doBuildTemplate() you could get the parameter passed in

James,

Thanks alot. I do understand this, but certain things are not clear:

1) why are commas used? Why not slashes?

2) There is no FluxUserList.class in the WEB-INF/classes hierarchy, nor
in the flux-X.X.jar file in WEB-INF/lib. It must be somewhere, unless
mapped to another class. Can you map templates to classes?

3) is the "username/turbine" in
ttp://localhost:8080/newapp/servlet/newapp/template/user%2CFluxUserForm.vm/u
sername/turbine?mode=modify

a form of variable assignment, like "?username=turbine" ? I noticed
similar thing in
http://localhost:8080/newapp/servlet/newapp/template/Form.vm/rdfid/1000

where rdfid/1000 passes the rdfid = 1000 parameter to the Form.class


Thanks,




Chris
