question about dojo.registerModulePath in ags_js_api

Question

in dojo setting ,For instance, if �??/web/scripts/dojo/dojo/dojo.js�?� is the path to dojo.js, and you do dojo.require(�??some.module�?�), Dojo will try to load the JavaScript file using the path �??/web/scripts/dojo/some/module.js�?�.  but  what about this in ags_js_api?
in my application  ,i used dojo.provide a resource named "custom/config.js" and put "custom/config.js" in the dojo folder,like this: http://forums.arcgis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10309&stc=1&d=1322039729

but it throws error when i  use dojo.require("custom.config") ,
error like this pic: http://forums.arcgis.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=10310&stc=1&d=1322039897

thx for your help!

Your screen shot doesn't match the scenario you're describing...are you sure you're specifying your paths correctly? For instance, you talk about �??/web/scripts/dojo/dojo/dojo.js�?� but your screen shot shows "js/dojo/dojo".

How are you specifying your module path? Can you post the code you're using to define your module paths?

I recommend reading up on how this works in dojo:  
http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/registerModulePath.html

Also look into using modulePaths via dojoConfig/djConfig.

i have solved my problem, thx a lot;

I recommend reading up on how this works in dojo: http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/dojo/registerModulePath.html Also look into using modulePaths via dojoConfig/djConfig. ok i am sorry that what i have described was not the same with my screen shot ,this time i give you my code and the right screen shot : my custon class:if (!dojo._hasResource["custom.config"]) { dojo._hasResource["custom.config"] = true; dojo.provide("custom.config"); dojo.declare("custom.Config", null, { constructor: function(){ } }); dojo.mixin(custom.Config, { configPath: "conf/config.txt", configObj: null, parseConfig: function(load, error){ dojo.xhrGet({ url: this.configPath, handleAs: "json", load: load, error: error }); } }); } my index.html where i require my custom class: index.html

the picture named 1.png is the screen shot of the custom path . the picture named 2.png is the wrong in the firebug of the code "dojo.require("custom.config");". and i have another question can you help me ? i opened the source code in esri.js ,and i saw the line "_1.registerModulePath("esri", (location.protocol === 'file:' ? 'http:' : location.protocol) + '//' + "localhost:8080/cd/js/arcgis_js_api/library/2.4/arcgis/js/esri");" so i think ,this line is the reason why we can use the classes in packge esri directly like "dojo.require("esri.map")",it use the absolute path. then i changed my code like this : dojo.registerModulePath("custom", "http://localhost:8080/cd/js/arcgis_js_api/library/2.4/arcgis/js/custom"); ,now the line "dojo.require("custom.config")" throw no error ,but this page also throw an error like this: "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://localhost:8080/cd/js/arcgis_js_api/library/2.4/arcgis/js/custom/config.xd.js" my question is that why my page want to get the custom.config.xd.js not the custom.config.js, i browsed in esri source code ,why every js file has two like geometry.js and geometry.xd.js ,what is the role *.xd.js act ? i have so many questions, so thx you very much. 2.png 1.png
