For anyone else trying to do something similar, I eventually solved this
by doing the following:

I'm pretty sure this will only work if you map your servlet to the root
context. If you want the actual context name, then you need to inject the
WebRequest object too and call getContextPath() on that.
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?
I haven't found a better way to doing it, but I agree wholeheartedly with
you. In fact, I had no idea how to do this until reading this thread.
Part of the problem is that it relies on the HiveMind API, which I could
not find the javadocs too online (they are in the documenation download
though). I really don't mind having to use HiveMind with Tapestry 4, but
having to know the HiveMind API too is a lot to ask of people I think.
In any event, it would be really nice if the framework helped out here.
Inject the ServletContext and WebRequest objects whenever you want to
dynamically create a ContextAsset seems really cumbersome.
