ATG Search and how to generate XHTMLs from STG file


The ATG search  indexing will give you the idx and stg files. When I analyse the stg files with some text editors like Textpad or Ultraedit , found some <html> and </html> tags and the contents inside these tags seems to be the same content of the temporary XHTML files , which will be generated during the search indexing for each indexed item. So I deicded to take the contents in between the <html> and </html> tags and save as XHTML file and it works for almost all indexed items. As you might know, these XHTML file’s <head> tag contains all the meta properties ( refine properties ) and the <body> tag have the text properties ( searchable properties ) for each indexed item.

Please note that the above steps are not an ATG recommended method to generate the XHTML files. I come across to this simple method to form the XHTML files and I am not 100% sure that this will give all the XHTML files of a search index . But I found this to be very useful for debugging any ATG search related issues.

Please find the below JAVA code written to genrate the XHTML files from an stg file. The main method is expecting the name of the stg file as a program argument. This will create a folder named “XHTML_Files” in the current directory and will save the XHTML files inside this folder.

Please find the below screen shot of XHTML files generated using this JAVA code :




Please find the below screen shot of a sample XHTML file generated using this JAVA code :





import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;

public class ATGSearchStgXHTMLGenerator {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
String fileName =  args[0];
String xhtmlfilePath = ".\\XHTML_Files";
if(fileName ==  null){
System.out.println("Give the stg file name as input");
return;
}
File stgfile = new File(fileName);
FileReader stgfileFis = new FileReader(stgfile);
BufferedReader stgfileBr = new BufferedReader(stgfileFis);
String readLine = stgfileBr.readLine();
String outToWrite = null;
String outFileName = null;
File outFile = new File(xhtmlfilePath);
boolean exists = outFile.exists();
if(!exists){
(new File(xhtmlfilePath)).mkdir();
}
FileWriter outFileWriter = null;
int lineNumber = 1;
int xhtmlFileCount = 1;
boolean canWriteXhtmlfile = false;
do {
if(readLine.contains("<html>")
&& readLine.contains("</html>")){
outToWrite = readLine.substring(readLine.indexOf("<html>"),readLine.indexOf("</html>")+7);
outFileName = "\\XHTMLFile_";
canWriteXhtmlfile = true;
}else if(readLine.contains("<html>")
&& !readLine.contains("</html>")){
System.out.println("In the STG file at lineNumber:" +lineNumber+" ERROR: html tag found, but no end tag for");
outToWrite = readLine.substring(readLine.indexOf("<html>"),readLine.length());
outFileName = "\\XHTMLFile_Error_";
canWriteXhtmlfile = true;
}
if(canWriteXhtmlfile){
outFile =  new File(xhtmlfilePath+outFileName+(xhtmlFileCount++)+".xhtml");
outFileWriter =  new FileWriter(outFile);
outFileWriter.write(outToWrite);
outFileWriter.close();
}
readLine = stgfileBr.readLine();
lineNumber++;
canWriteXhtmlfile = false;
} while (readLine != null);
System.out.println("The STG file is processed fully till lineNumber"+lineNumber);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

ATG - quick reference to commonly used DSP Tags

In this blog, I would like to give a quick reference to the most commonly used DSP Tags.Note that in this DSP tag details : bean refers to a Nucleus path, component name, and property name param refers to a Page parameter value refers to a Static-value var refers to a EL variable id refers to a scripting variable ============================================================== 1.dsp:importbean     example: <dsp:importbean bean="/atg/dynamo/droplet/Switch"/> ============================================================== 2.dsp:page     usage: It encloses a JSP. The dsp:page invokes the JSP handler, which calls the servlet pipeline and generates HTTPServletRequest.    example:    <dsp:page> ..... </dsp:page> ============================================================== 3.dsp:include     usage: Embeds a page fragment in a JSP.     example:   <dsp:include src="/myPage/Result...

ATG CA - BCC home screen : how to add a new link

          Activity source is the property which controls the links on the left nav on the BCC home screen. All activity sources are registered with the ActivityManager component at /atg/bizui/activity/ActivityManager . When rendering the BCC home page, the ActivityManager cycles through all the registered ActivitySource components and displays left navigation links for each of them on the BCC home page. For example if I want to add a new link "My New Link" , below screen shots exaplins how this can be done 1. Add  activityManager.properties to specify the activityresources. In this  activityManager, I specified one MyActivitySource. 2. Add  MyActivitySource.properties  to specify the name of the link and the other details . Here it refers to a bundle properties file.  3. Add  the bundle properties file  to specify the name of the link.  4. Now you could see the new link...
