Right. So what I had in mind to begin with wasn't really feasible - and
there is a far easier way to do it:
I ended up creating a GlobalAssetFactory instead. It uses a
GlobalAssetManager backed by a GlobalAssets configuration to convert ids
to paths. The paths can contain prefixes like "classpath" and "context"
- or any other prefix contributed to Tapestry through HiveMind.
Right now, I can do this in my hivemodule:
<contribution configuration-id="example.GlobalAssets">
<asset id="logo" path="context:graphics/logo.png" />
<asset id="stylesheet" path="context:styles/default.css" />
</contribution>
And this in my component/page spec files:
<asset name="logo" path="global:logo" />
<asset name="style" path="global:stylesheet" />
Works like a charm.
If anyone is interested in the code, let me know.

Well, assuming you're on T4 (and hence have HiveMind support built-in by
default) you can do this:
1. Create a GlobalAssetManager service.
2. Create an example.globalAssets configuration-point and hand it to the
GlobalAssetManager service.
3. Create a org.apache.tapestry.binding.BindingFactory service
implementation (extend
org.apache.tapestry.binding.AbstractBindingFactory) and have it locate
the requested asset via your GlobalAssetManager service and return an
implementation of org.apache.tapestry.IBinding that returns said asset.
4. Add your GlobalAssetBindingFactory to the
tapestry.bindings.BindingFactories HiveMind configuration-point with a
prefix like "global-asset".
Something like that. Would that work for you?
I could actually use something like this for my own projects... Guess
I'll have a go at it. Let me know if you're interested in the code.

Hi all,
I have a lot of images on another server that need to be incorporated in
my application.
Instead of defining the external assets on every page I need them, can I
have them all in one 'properties' file and reference them from there?
Kind regards, Bianca
