Hi Jarda,
you just use the path relative to your servlet context.
> background-image: url('/images/myimage.png');
this could work. If your app is not deployed under the root context but under
/foo-bar/ then I guess this should work:
background-image: url('/foo-bar/images/myimage.png‘);
If both, your images and your css files are stored in src/main/webapp you can
also use relative paths:
background-image: url('../images/myimage.png‘);
That being said, I prefer to have all assets in META-INF/images and
META-INF/css for example. Relative paths have the advantage that Tapestry will
give you an error if any image isn’t where it should be if you reference it via
relative paths. That check does not apply for absolute paths (starting with a
slash).
Cheers,
Christian
