Problem with stylesheet when I change a webapp to root mount point
In CommonScreens.xml I have the following line:
<set field="layoutSettings.styleSheets[+0]" value="${productStore.styleSheet}" default-value="/hgl/images/ecommain.css" global="true"/>
I have a custom component in hot-deploy called "hgl"
When I mount the webapp in ofbiz-component.xml as "/hgl" everything works fine. However, when I change it to mount as the URL root I no longer have a webapp mounted as "hgl" and the style sheet isn't found.

OK the Apache setup for the images is a good tip. However, if you change the configuration to be specific to each webapp (/accounting/, etc.) then how would OfBiz get requests at the root URL?
Can I do something like:
ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/webapp

I don't see a "context prefix" in the website settings, only "content prefix."
I have tried two different approaches to getting my custom app to load at the root:
1) Use Apache proxy_ajp and the following in the VirtualHost config:
<Location / >
ProxyPass ajp://localhost:8009/webapp/
ProxyPassReverse ajp://localhost:8009/webapp/
</Location>
2) Set the mount point in ofbiz-component.xml to "/"
Either one of these approaches makes resources that must be referenced by a URL such as images and style sheets unreachable.
Any ideas are appreciated. In the meantime, I am going to create another webapp in my custom component for the sole purpose of storing resources. Something analogous to /images/ in the framework component.
However, this then begs the question, why don't I just let Apache serve those resources. I would love to do that, but would still have URL issues because I am currently passing all requests to OfBiz.
Any ideas on how to configure Apache so that the root url: www.mydomainname.com is passed to OfBiz but I can still reference other URL's that will be served by Apache like:
www.mydomainname.com/images

I think you have to change stylesheet path in store settings and also try
changing the context prefix under website in catalog.

I think you have to change stylesheet path in store settings and also try
changing the context prefix under website in catalog.
