Re: ResourceStreamLocator and mvn resource:resource copying resources in the right directory
Thanks Erik.
Why are you using absolute URLS?
Are you using absolute URLs to support editing in the web directory,
with a directory structure the same as the java package structure,
without breaking images?
Then it would look like you have found a different solution for the
same problem. Interesting. Both solutions require only small changes.
Have you tried to patch RelativePathPrefixHandler? With that change,
you would no longer be restricted to absolute paths.
Regards,
Bernard

Re: ResourceStreamLocator and mvn resource:resource copying resources in the right directory

Hi Erik,
I know the problem. It is a JavaScript problem, where the browser has
to construct an absolute URL from the relative URL that is in the HTML
fragment. The question is relative to what context this URL has to be
constructed in the browser - relative to the source of the fragment,
to some iframe or to the source of the page it is inserted into.
I am not arguing with you that you have found a good solution to the
problem.
But if you wanted to solve the problem at the root of it, you would
code the relative URLs at the server, and make them absolute at the
client side. The conversion is quite trivial. I did this for a
JavaScript based e-commerce app some time ago. This will always work
because the browser cannot reqest relative URLs anyway.
Regarding Wicket's inability to do this out of the box, I am once
again disappointed. This is so basic it blows my mind. While Wicket is
very flexible in many areas, in some areas it forces special use cases
as "best practice" on site develpers who then don't have any choices.
RelativePathPrefixHandler just breaks things by making a stupid
assumption about paths. I wish I could replace it dynamically.
If I start making alternative suggesions, then I am hearing catchy
words like "best practice" "community consensus" , "begginner" and "we
like to do it this way". That never convinces anyone because there is
no such thing as a community consensus, and especially not one that
agrees on a special use case.
I would say that putting HTML pages alongside Java source files is a
special use case for component deployment. It is ridiculous to call
this Wicket best practice for site development. Once you explore
benefits eg better separation of concerns of the more general cases,
you run into trouble only because the original designers did not
consider them enough. A framework might originate from special use
cases but it should at some stage address general cases with higher
priority not as never ending afterthoughts. These things should be
pluggable.
Regards,
Bernard

Hi Bernard,
We are using absolute URLs in one application (http://tipspot.com) that
does not use the wicket ajax library, only javascript (based on jquery)
written by the frontend developer. One of the things we do there is
filling popups through ajax requests. As most of that information is
completely stateless, we use a wicket page to produce the html
fragments. The URL depth and path of the original page (containing the
popup), and the page that is pasted into the popup, almost never
matches. This is a problem for linking to other pages. I found it easy
to make this problem go away by making all URLs absolute.
I did not look at RelativePathPrefixHandler as I was unaware of its
existence. I am also not certain that any relative schema would be able
to solve the problem cleanly/easily. Secondly having absolute paths is a
non-issue for this application.
Regards,
Erik.
