(I've seen some earlier discussions on this subject, but they all ended
up with turning the static HTML into a WOComponent -- exactly what I'm
trying to avoid.)
I'm working on a web ordering system that uses a legacy database, and I
want to make adding a new product to the catalog as painless as
possible. Most of the product info will be entered using into the
database using a legacy system, but I need a way to add the product
description -- a few paragraphs of static HTML -- and image to the
WOComponent that displays products.
My strategy on the images is to keep them in a directory on the web
server and reference them from the component as <img
src="http://www.domain.com/resources/[itemNumber].jpg";>. To keep
things simple, I'd like to do the same thing with the product
descriptions. I don't want to use a WOFrame, and SSI doesn't work
without major hacks, so I'm at a bit of a loss. The only thing I could
think of is to create a subcomponent that generated its response from
an InputStream, but after looking at the java.io API, I'm completely
baffled about how to get an InputStream for a text file. Is there
something I'm missing, or is this really this complicated? Any help
would be appreciated.
