------------------------------------------------- FCKeditor - JSP Integration Pack ver 2.3 ------------------------------------------------- --------------- Contents: --------------- 1 - Preface 2 - Installation 3 - Usage 4 - Building 5 - Future plans 6 - Donations 7 - Further information and support 8 - History -------------------- 1 - Preface -------------------- This is the JSP Integration Pack for using FCKeditor inside a java server page without the complexity of using a Java scriptlets or the javascript api. I hope you find it usefull. This package contains just the integration library. To setup a full working environment you need to download the latest version of FCKEditor (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=75348&package_id=75845) -------------------- 2 - Installation -------------------- Installing FCKeditor in a JSP environment is quite easy: - Unzip the Java Integration Library in a directory named "FCKeditor" - Unzip the content of the FCKEditor release of your choise inside the "FCKeditor\web" folder - then you have to create in tomcat (or any servlet container) a new context named "FCKeditor" that points to the previously created "FCKeditor\web" folder - point your browser to http://domainName.ext/FCKeditor/_samples/default.jsp for the list of the samples -------------------- 3 - Usage -------------------- Take a look at the test files and in the javadoc api provided in the distribution. Anyway, for the lazy ones, here is a simple example First put this taglib definiton at the top of the JSP page <%@ taglib uri="http://fckeditor.net/tags-fckeditor" prefix="FCK" %> then the tag: This is another test.
The "Second" row. A more advance example, that show how to use the inner tags to overrides any of the settings specified in the config.js file This is some sample text. -------------------- 4 - Building -------------------- Inside the files there is the source files for the tags (/src) and the ant build file (build.xml) The ant build file provides the following tasks: - all: Clean build and dist directories, then compile - clean: Delete old build and dist directories - compile: Compile Java sources - dist: Create binary distribution - javadoc: Create Javadoc API documentation - release: Create Release Distribution Plus some Tomcat managing tasks (to make this tasks work you need to copy inside the "web" folder the FCKeditor package): - install: Create a web application pointing to the build directory - reload: Recompiles and reload the web application - remove: remove the web application To start building the class you first need to modify the "catalina.home" property inside the build.xml, then type "ant dist" to compile, create the javadoc API description and generate the jar library to be copied in the WEB-INF. Or more easily, type "ant install" after setting the right username and password for the tomcat manager application. -------------------- 5 - Future plans -------------------- * Integrate with Struts (so that FCKeditor can retrive and pass informations from Form Beans) * Integrate with mcpuk FileManager -------------------- 6 - Donations -------------------- I'm now starting to accept donations on the Sourceforge website: so if you like the jsp integration taglib, or are you using it on a commercial application, please help the development of next version of the taglib donating to my SF user.
