[jira] Commented: (WW-1833) Template overrides don't pick up JavaScript files

Musachy Barroso commented on WW-1833:
-------------------------------------

I guess the only way of making this work would be, give a request to ${context}/struts/${path}, check if  ${path} exists in the classpath and write to the output. That would enable to overwrite struts' static resources. A flag could be added to enable this behavior. 

Only a couple of javascript files could be overwritten, is it worth it?

> It appears that if I have overridden an template inside my web application like this:
> /template/ajax
>   - form.ftl
>   - form-close.ftl
>   - validation.js
> Struts 2 correctly picks up the two templates from this location but it does not pick up the JavaScript file. Instead it always grabs the file from the core JAR. I opened an issue about a year ago with WebWork for this same issue, but it was never fixed. Ideally all of the files that a template requires will be accessible from the override directory rather than having to hack up URLs and such or using other more non-intuitive locations.
