global assets

[Kris Rasmussen <kr...@yahoo.com>]

Is there a way to specify an asset in only one file and then reference it with something like ognl:global.assets.myasset.
 
I wrote a generic errorform component that takes an error image as a parameter in a library I wrote and I would like an application I am writting to use the same error image everytime without having to create a .page just to specifiy the asset. I realize I could create a new component like myerrorform that simply passes its bindings to the errorform component and the error image, but that seems like overkill.

Hi Kris,
You could make a page specification with all your assets declared in it and reference them like this:
ognl:page.requestCycle.getPage('assetPage').assets.assetName

No idea as to performance or scalability issues for doing it like this. Likely the gurus on the list will be able to provide
a better solution, maybe something involving the asset service.

Take care,

John
