Import a subtemplate in XML PUBLISHER 5.6.2

Question

Hi, we need to be able to reference subtemplates in our templates in XML Publisher. We were able to test
successfully on our desktop by using the following command:
<?import: file:///C:/SousGabarit/Variables/X0050_fr.rtf?>, but we failed after adapting
the command and deploying to the server.
We tried many different approaches like the following which didn't work(with the subtemplate in the same directory
as the template):
<?import:file://entete.rtf?>
<?import:file:./entete.rtf?>
<?import:./entete.rtf?>
<?import:entete.rtf?>
This worked:
<?import:http://p033c:8888/entete.rtf?> since it references an available directory on an application server. But we don't want to specify the
server and port in all of our templates since moving from one environment to
the other will mean changing every templates...
We would like to reference a relative path on the XMLP server. Is it possible to have all the subtemplates
in a directory which can be referenced in the templates directly on the XMLP
server?
What needs to be the import command then?
Thanks!

Answer 1

Thanks a lot for your answer Tim.
I have two questions related to this...
1- Where do you recommend we put the templates on the server? Ideally we would like the user to go through the application to upload subtemplates as opposed to give access to a folder, but I think we cannot access a subtemplate directly in the reports section of the app with a URL, right?
2- Where in the documentation can we find the information about the parameters we can use in our templates which come from the application settings, like "CURRENT_SERVER_URL"? Can we also have access to the locale? What are the other parameters available?
Thanks a lot!
