For anyone else trying to do something similar, I eventually solved this
by doing the following:
ContextResource resource = new ContextResource(servletContext,
"myfile.gif");
IAsset asset = new ContextAsset("images/", resource,
component.getLocation());
Not sure if this is how I should be doing it, but seemed to work. To get
hold of the 'servletContext', I had to inject the following property
into the calling component:
<inject property="servletRequest"
object="service:tapestry.globals.HttpServletRequest" />
I then got a handle to the servlet context by calling:
getServletRequest().getSession().getServletContext()
This seems to me to be a slightly long-winded way of getting hold of the
context, especially as it's required for creating ContextResources, and
I'm not sure I like the idea of calling getSession() when I'm not doing
session-related things (and I don't want a session created most of the
time).
Am I doing this correctly, or is there (or should there be) a better way
of getting handles to things like this?

Hi,
Not sure if I'm missing something, but I can't find a class called
'ContextResourceLocation' in the Tapestry (4.0) framework ...?
Also, the interface IResourceLocation (which I'm assuming is implemented
by this?) doesn't seem to be included in the online Javadoc, although it
exists in the project.

public IAsset createAsset(ServletContext context, String path) {
return new ContextAsset( new ContextResourceLocation(context, path),
null); }
there you go.
