I'm deploying my Restlet application into a WAR in Tomcat, and
everything seems to be working just fine. Normally, it'd be nicer to
simply let Tomcat handle the CSS and Javascript files, but I want to map
everything (/*) to the ServerServlet so I can keep the initial part of
the resource ref (i.e. if I were to map /abc/* and /xyz/* I wouldn't be
able to match those because it becomes the base ref and gets stripped
off).
Here's what I'm doing now for the CSSResource that the /css/{cssfile} is
routed to:
public Representation getRepresentation(final Variant variant)
{
final ServletWarClient warClient =
new ServletWarClient(getContext(),
((ServletContextAdapter)
getContext()).getServletContext());
return warClient.get("war:///css/"
+ getRequestAttribute("cssfile")).getEntity();
}
Which isn't elegant at all as it's tuned specifically to being deployed
as a WAR, and can no longer be run as a standalone, not to mention all
the implementation specific stuff...
Is there a better way? I know normal static stuff is served via the
Directory resource, but it doesn't apply here because everything is
inside the WAR.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for the fantastic framework!
