war plugin - images / css
Hi,
I am using a default maven project layout:
src/resources/images <!-- jpg files -->
src/resources/styles <!-- css files -->
using the tomcat plugin which uses the resources plugin, it puts those files
into this war structure: (
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-war-plugin/usage.html ):
`-- WEB-INF
`-- classes
|-- com
| `-- ideal
| `-- projects
| `-- SampleAction.class
`-- images
`-- sampleimage.jpg
`-- styles
`-- basic.css
Don't you think that's weird?! how can I access files under
WEB-INF/classes?!
I tried: <link href="classes/styles/basic.css" (eventhough I don't like the
structure) -
but this didn't work.
So in short, my questions are:
1. where should my images, css, javascript and so on be - under /, WEB-INF,
or WEB-INF/classes.
If under WEB-INF/classes, how can I access them there?
2. How can I change Maven so that it puts the files where they should be?
Thanks in advance,
Peter ( really confused... ;-)

Peter,
I hope I can solve some of you confusion.
The rule I always use to determine where to put a file is to look at who
will load a certain file.
If the file is being loaded by a classload, the it should be under
/src/main/resources.
They will be copied to WEB-INF/classes when you build your project.
If a file is needed by the ApplicationServer, then the file should be
onder /src/main/webapp/WEB-INF.
These would include: web.xml and possible some optional files like:
.tld-files, tile-definitions, spring-servlet-config.xml-files, ....
When a file is being loaded directly from a browser (images, .js-files
and .css-files) then those should be located under /src/main/webapp/
Resulting in something like
/src/main
/src/main/java
/src/main/resources/
/src/main/resources/ResourceBundle_en.properties
/src/main/resources/ResourceBundle_fr.properties
/src/main/webapp/
/src/main/webapp/index.html
/src/main/webapp/css/style.css
/src/main/webapp/images/logo.gif
/src/main/webapp/script/site.js
/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/
/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml
I hope this helps.
With kind regards,
Marco Beelen

Hi,
in the example provided the language properties seem to be under
resources, not under webapp:
http://jamwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/jamwiki/wiki/trunk/jamwiki-war
/src/main/resources/ApplicationResources_ja.properties?revision=2200&vie
w=markup
Now I am confused :-(
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Any file is suitable if it was to be visible to the WebAppClassLoader.
Examples:
.properties
or other files accessed with #getServletContext().getResourceAsStream()
Files with have to available to the Browser. should always be in
src/main/webapp.
This is a good example:

Can you give an example for a suitable file? What about xml, xsd files for
example?
>your "web" resources should always be unter src/main/webapp!
What about language property files?
under src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/classes
or resources/?
Is there any page were I could read about the exact rules?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

This the the wrong way to go!
resources are only for non-Java files visible to the classloader.
your "web" resources should always be unter src/main/webapp!
