reaching external assets II

["F. Da Costa Gomez" <dc...@fixed.com>]

Hi,

... paths ... are evaluated relative to the context root.

This partial line comes from the Tap specification DTD (Appendix A).
To me it suggests that when I put my css and images dirs on the same level 
as WEB-INF I should be able to gain access to them, like so.
	<context-asset name="tapestry_icon" path="images/ico_t.gif"/>

This (or so I hope) would be a relative path which would expand into 
/context/images/ico_t.gif on the actual rendered page. I'm not sure of my 
assumption but the rendered page gives me /contextimages/ico_t.gif so that 
obviously is the wrong choice.

The following notation,
	<context-asset name="tapestry_icon" path="/images/ico_t.gif"/>

gives me /t2/images/ico_t.gif in the code of the rendered page (t2 being 
the context) but still no image is shown.

The code used to show the images is
	<span jwcid="@Image" image="ognl:assets.tapestry_icon">

Looking at the workbench I'm starting to get the feeling that it might have 
something to do with the locations of the .application and/ or .jwc page 
(where the assets are defined).
My definitions are located in subdir so that I do not clutter up the 
context nor the WEB-INF dir.
HTML are not placed in the context root but can be found underneath the 
WEB-INF dir as well in the subs next to their supporting .page/ .jwc and 
.java files.

I haven't got a clue any more.
Just wasted three days on this.
Any suggestions?

SOLVED & the good part is that it had nothing to do with Tapestry.
Just a matter of not reading through enough paperwork. ;)

It had to do with a line in the web.xml conderning the servlet mapping.
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>StdTapestryServlet</servlet-name>
	**	<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>	**
	</servlet-mapping>

SHOULD read

	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>StdTapestryServlet</servlet-name>
	**	<url-pattern>/app</url-pattern>	**
	</servlet-mapping>

I'll read up on the why later. 4 now I'll just go on finishing my stuff. :)

Cheers
