I thought that if a directory in the context didn't conflict with a
tapestry page name (like 'start'), then the url to that directory
would reference it ok.  For example, I have a context dir (named
'webapp' under src/main) that looks like this:

/src/main/webapp:
- css
     - main_style.css
- images
- js
- WEB-INF

If I direct my browser to http://localhost:8080/css/main_style.css, I
get a raw dump of the css file to the browser screen as I would
expect.  This .css file also gets properly injected if I use

@Inject
@Path ("context:css/main_style.css")
private Asset _mainStyle;

This is all properly working code (under Jetty at least :)

Hmmm, but that would generate a path to the webserver ('/static/....')
root and not to the root of the context ('[appContext]/static/...'),
plus it would bypass internationalization. Now I admit for css files the
internationalization wouldn't matter but for skin-related images it
might matter a lot and I would like to work it out within the @Inject
method if possible.

However, this idea has created a work-around for me, I'm now using the
@inject @path combo to create to url's to the separate skins and I'm
switching between them  based on the value of the property 'skin'. I
think it could be improved upon:
public class SiteDesign {

    public final static String SKIN_PUBLISHER = "publisher";
    public final static String SKIN_ADVERTISER = "advertiser";

    @Parameter
    private String skin = "publisher";

    @Inject
    @Path("context:static/css/advertiser/skin.css")
    private Asset skin1CSS;

    @Inject
    @Path("context:static/css/publisher/skin.css")
    private Asset skin2CSS;

    public Asset getSkinCSS() {
        if (skin.equalsIgnoreCase(SKIN_PUBLISHER)) return skin2CSS;
        return skin1CSS;
    }

    public String getSkin() {
        return skin;
    }

}
