Thanks for the helpful information. I was able to get jetty & tomcat to serve
static resources by placing them in a static folder at the root of my web app.
The only wrinkle was that WO was generating links to my application bundle
resources without the “Contents” part of the URL as in your screenshot (i.e. I
was getting /static/MyApp.woa/WebServerResources as opposed to
/static/MyApp.woa/Contents/WebServerResources). Adjusting my
WOApplicationBaseURL fixed that, though.
I’m still curious to know how Maven folks are automating this sort of thing
when packaging as a true war. In particular, I'd like to know if there is a
way to automatically copy all webserver-resources from each embedded WO
framework, as well as the application itself, into the container’s static
folder. Right now I’m manually copying the web server resources from each
framework, as well as the app, but I’m sure there’s a better way to do so,
perhaps via a Maven plugin. .
Also seems as though with my webserver resources included in the static folder,
I’m including an extra copy of the webserver resources already bundled in each
jar file. I suppose there is a way to suppress inclusion of the
webserver-resources when building the jar packages for each framework and
application project, but I haven’t had the time to investigate yet.
Thanks again for the help,
F
