beta15 breaks GAE

[Jon Williams <wi...@gmail.com>]

hi

*beta15 breaks GAE*

ResourceTransformerFactoryImpl creates a File for the asset cache directory.
This breaks my app in GAE, since creating a new File is prohibited.

Is there a work around to this? Can I turn off the server side asset (File)
cache?

I've added a new symbol to control this behavior, so that you can have it
for development, but be safe in production.

Note, this could also break non GAE environments since it calls mkdirs() on
@Symbol(WebResourcesSymbols.CACHE_DIR). For example a unix server without
write permission.

Please raise a jira, it looks like the cache is only used in development
mode but still references File in production (thus breaking GAE). Perhaps a
proper fix will involve a pluggable cache which does nothing in production
mode.

As a workaround you can override the ResourceTransformerFactory via ioc
with an implementation that doesn't reference java.io.File. Most likely a
copy/paste/tweak of the current version.

java.io.File
is the culprit

Really? I'm surprised tapestry references java.util.File. Poor form if you
ask me as it goes against j2ee principles.
