After upgrading to 8.0.4, 9.1 (or later releases) custom pages are throwing system errors

In 8.0.4 and later releases, we've made changes relating to architecture modernization. Due to this some custom pages referencing older frameworks may no longer function correctly. To resolve these issues, please follow the steps below;

1. If you have a custom login page, you will need to do the following:

• Imports
  -Replace http://struts.apache.org/tags-html with http://www.yellowfin.com.au/tags/yellowfin-app-form
  -Remove references to <%@ taglib uri="http://struts.apache.org/tags-bean" prefix="bean" %>
  -If the JSP does not already have <%@ taglib uri="http://www.yellowfin.com.au/tags/yellowfin-app" prefix="app" %>, add it in
  -Remove all imports that have “struts” in it
  -Replace all occurrences of bean:message with app:message
  -Replace instances of ActionError with ApplicationError and ActionErrors with ApplicationErrors
  -Add <%@ page import="com.hof.util.ApplicationError" %>
  -Add <%@ page import="com.hof.util.ApplicationErrors" %>
  -Replace Globals with AttributeKey
  -Add <%@ page import="com.hof.mi.web.framework.AttributeKey" %>
  -After all imports, add the following statements

<%! TagUtil tagUtil = new TagUtil(); %>
<%
// If the login page cannot render, redirect for initialisation.
if (!tagUtil.isInitialisedForLogon(request, getServletContext())) {
%>
<jsp:forward page="logon.i4"/>
<%
return;
}
%>

2. If you have other custom JSP’s, you would have to do everything except the last step.

3. If you see the additional error message “No WebApplicationContext found: not in a DispatcherServlet request and no ContextLoaderListener registered?” in a custom JSP, add the following line after all imports:

<%@ include file="/includes/ContextCheck.jsp" %>

Note: This is also a rare occurrence where you may also need to create your own version of the contextcheck page (there is an example attached to this post) and switching:

<html:text tabindex="1" property="email" onmousedown="emailOnClick(event);" styleClass="loginBox" />

<input type="text" tabindex="1" name="email" value="" onmousedown="emailOnClick(event);" />

If you are still having issues or unsure if this applies to you, please raise a ticket with our support team containing a detailed description of your issue (including screenshots), and include any relevant .jsps.
