My Lift project is in a git repository and to the repository I've added a submodule. Since right now I only want one javascript file from this submodule, my thought was to make the directory src/main/ webroot/js and then make a symbolic link to the javascript file in question. Unfortunately, when I try to request the file at http://localhost:9090/js/jquery.sparkline.js, I get a 403 response that says the page is not defined in my sitemap. There was no note of the request in the stdout.
Thinking that the js subdirectory is the problem, I then tried making the symlink in the webroot directory and got a 404 error. On stdout it said: 2009-08-13 18:38:23.051::WARN: Aliased resource: file:/Users/peter/ Sites/Equal%20Networks/server/src/main/webapp/ jquery.sparkline.js==file:/Users/peter/Sites/Equal%20Networks/server/ vendors/dashboard/www/jquery.sparkline.js >From this I gather than Lift is troubled by the presence of a symlink and refused to acknowledge its presence. Is this true? If so, why? >From the thread last week on ExtJS I see a discussion on loading files in webroot, including supporting a css directory by adding the following to Boot.scala: ResourceServer.allow { case "css" :: _ => true } I already have a css file being served from a directory in the exact same location without any additions to Boot.scala. Nonetheless, I tried the following: ResourceServer.allow { case "js" :: _ => true } Unfortunately, this had no effect. So, how can I get my symlinked javascript to be server? Or should I just give up on symlinks altogether (I'm not a git master, so perhaps that was the wrong approach anyway). Peter Robinett PS I'm on 1.1-SNAPSHOT. PPS The YUI Compressor works well.
