Dojo and Rad 6.0

Submitted by trichard0987 on Wed, 04/02/2008 - 18:30.

I'm having an issue getting dojo to work properly with RAD 6.0. When I create a new web project does the dojo files go under the WebContent folder or the WEB-INFO folder?

The problem I'm having is it can't find the attributes djConfig and dojoType.

Thanks

I'm using RAD 7.0 and Dojo, I have the dojo files under WebContent and it works fine. RAD will flag the djConfig and dojoType with a warning as an undefined attribute. I open a PMR with WebSphere support and they said:

The current HTML validator shipped inside RAD 7.0 does not recognize DOJO attributes at all. (Some other customers had raised the same concern before, and we have already confirmed with our development team that DOJO attributes are not supported by the HTML validator in RAD 7.0, and the only workaround is to disable the HTML validator in the Preferences page, if you want to get rid of the warning messages.)

Also

RAD 7.5 will be released in Sept 2008. We were told that it is going to be built upon the latest eclipse/WTP release, which should be at least eclipse 3.4 and WTP 3.0. So my understanding is that it will have a better AJAX tooling support then.

It looks like we have to live with the warnings until RAD 7.5 is released.

You should at whether it's possible to provide a custom DTD

Dojo does add attributes which are not in the HTML spec. If the validator could be driven off a custom DTD, perhaps declared with a DOCTYPE element, you could work around this.
