Question about implementing "Create and Deploy Your First OpenMRS Module"

Development

1

I’m am following the guide at Create and Deploy Your First OpenMRS Module - Documentation - OpenMRS Wiki. I’ve been able to get all the way to getting the module deployed, but when I try to view in in the browser I’m getting the error shown below.

This is similar to other posts, but the information in those posts don’t seem to be helping to fix the error.

https://talk.openmrs.org/t/ui-framework-error-viewprovider-doesnt-have-a-view/2822

https://talk.openmrs.org/t/ui-framework-error-can-anyone-helpout/18900

https://talk.openmrs.org/t/ui-framework-error-after-any-restart-of-a-distribution-server-installed-with-sdk/25535/2

The information here seems to suggest I need to update a controler file but I have no idea where to look for that file or what the entry for my simple jsp would look like (also the “Create and Deploy Your First OpenMRS Module” doesn’t mention this step).

The controller class for the module is attached.
BasicexampleController.java.txt (2.8 KB)

Here’s the error:

@greshje This error can occur when the system tries to load a specific view but cannot find the corresponding view provider definition. Specifically, it states that there is no viewProvider named “basicexample.” Now to resolve this Ensure that the viewProvider “basicexample” is defined correctly in the UI Framework configuration. Check the configuration files or code where view providers are registered to confirm their existence.

You need to have an entry like the one from this documentation page for your module in the webApplicationContext.xml. This should be already setup for you if you selected the “Reference Application” type of module. If not you may need to follow the earlier instructions on the page I linked to get everything working.

UI implementations at times require jdk-8 installed .Your database should be running and need to have the server your running created and be sure the naming is the same and allocated in your database server
