The only solution I have found so far to work is to:
- use a HomeLink component :
public abstract class HomeLink extends AbstractLinkComponent {
@InjectObject("service:tapestry.globals.WebRequest")
public abstract WebRequest getRequest();
public ILink getLink(IRequestCycle cycle) {
return new StaticLink(getRequest().getContextPath());
}
}
- use this HomeLink component in my Border component (instead of a previous
PageLink)
So far, this means that I'll be able to have my links generated to '/'.
Now in order to serve the 'index' page to '/', I can't use a servlet mapping
of the tapestry servlet to '/' (otherwise, I won't be able anymore to serve
static resources like images, css, etc.). The only solution I found is to
use UrlRewrite (http://tuckey.org/urlrewrite/) with the following rule (this
is a forward rule and not a redirect one, so no problem with SEO):
<rule>
<from>^/$</from>
<to>/index.html</to>
</rule>
This is quite ugly, but I can't figure out if there is a better solution to
this problem.
The problem is that it seems there is no way to map the servlet to '/', and
'/' only (no recursivity).
[Sounds like I'm complaining as Howard do in his blog at
http://howardlewisship.com/blog/2004/12/servlet-mapping-limitations.html]
I guess there is no way to setup Tapestry using a servlet filter instead of
a servlet?
The only option could be to use Resin instead of Tomcat. Resin provides
servlet-mappings using regexp...

Hi Jerome,
I'm not sure to understand the whole problem...
For serving / instead of index.html that sounds to me more connected to
your
apache configuration. Unless this is part of your tapestry/tomcat
application.
Then for generating "/" links, there are many possibilities around... it
depends what kind of links do you want to generate "/".
You could either just implement an AbstractLink component and supply your
own ILink implementation.
Or if you want "/" for the home service for instance, I would rather
implement a ServiceEncoder.
I wrote several things like that for our website... I can send you some
code
for either one...
Nice to see other tapestry websites in France!
