Reference non-tapestry files from within tapestry

[Peter Dawn <pe...@gmail.com>]

guys,

we have diff depts working on diff files. the other dept has generated
a bunch of plain vanilla html content files which i need to
incorporate within my tap web app. now i have created a separate
folder and have put all files within it. now within my web app, i am
trying to incorporate, on a button click, it should open up a window
with the files.

now i am trying to reference these files but am having no luck. so
essentially within my tap html file i have,
window.open('c:/apache/tomcat/webapps/a/help/index.html'). but however
this is not working.

so i guess my question is how can i reference some external files from
within tapestry w/o letting tapestry let them render them, just accept
them as is. so does anyone know how to do this.

pls help. thanks.

i got it. instead of referencing it from the file system, reference it
using the web app. so instead of c:\apache\tomcat\webapp\etc etc go
http:\\localhost:8080\webapp\etc etc.

thanks again nick.

thats cool. so what should i have within my js. i mean should i
reference it from the file system  something like c:\apache\etc etc.
if its within my html then i can reference it as you have mentioned.

Hi Peter.

I usually have "css", "html" and "images" directories inside "context"
at the same level as "WEB-INF". Depending on how your web.xml is set up,
Tomcat will then usually serve these files as e.g.
http://localhost/tapestryappname/html/index.html

That's assuming your Tapestry app is located at:
http://localhost/tapestryappname/app

You can then put a link in your templates etc with:
<a href="html/index.html"> ... </a>

Cheers,
Nick.
