Hi there,
It seams I do not understand the asset-idea fully. The problem of referencing
images and scripts in source (e.g for including GWT + Ext components) seams to
be quite tricky since tapestry uses the path (url) of pages to add additional
parameters. So I stuck with path issues when using relative paths all day long.
Example:
relative: <img src="images/png1.png"> - does not work with different parameters
(/view vs. /view/0)
absolute: <img src="/contextName/images/png1.png"> - works
Since hard coding the context name (absolute way) makes the code blow when
renaming the project I would like to consider it bad style. So using a global
property (visible to all pages and components) seams the way to go.
global: <img src="${contextRoot}/images/png1.png">
This context root I can grab from ServletContext via requestGlobals. This would
polute my components and pages so I am looking for a global property definition
I can use within the templates just like the "context:" or "${tapestry}" alias.
Saidly this alias service does not work for templates as far as I know.
Is there any way around? I dont like to extend my components and pages just for
the sake knowing the contextName without injecting request globals every time
(at least on page level - using inherit for component base parameter).
Also I need this base for setting up generated html within a GWT component.
Thanks,
Martin (Kersten)
