page specific style sheets

["Hensley, Richard" <Ri...@McKesson.com>]

I have a desire for page specific style sheets. 

I have a 

main.css stylesheet that is located in ./style/
print.css stylesheet that is located in ./style/

These are declared as external asset's, and work great.

and I want a 

page.css stylesheet that is located in ./WEB-INF/pages/ right along side of
my page.page and page.html. I went about this doing the following:

  <context-asset name="pagestyle" path="./WEB-INF/pages/SignIn.css"/>


By when I use the following code:

                    writer.beginEmpty("link");
                    writer.attribute("rel","stylesheet");
                    writer.attribute("type", "text/css");
                    writer.attribute("href", asset.buildURL(cycle));
                    writer.println();

I get html that looks like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wo/WEB-INF/pages/SignIn.css"/>

Which does not work because the web server does not allow requests for
things in WEB-INF. 

What I really need is an Asset that is colocated with the specification that
can be returned by the application. Is there such a thing?

By the way, when I move the SignIn.css outside the WEB-INF directory, it
works just fine.

I know there's a way to tell Tapestry to move assets to a web-accessible 
folder when they're referenced, but I don't remember where I read about 
it. The book mentions it, so I know Tapestry 3.0 still does that, but 
the book doesn't tell how to do it.

Ah, there it is, check the Javadoc for the class AssetExternalizer. It 
copies assets from the classpath to a specified directory, for which you 
give it the URL.
