Bootique-tapestry

[Carlos Montero Canabal]

Hi tapestry users,

I'm developing my first bootique-tapestry project and I have some doubts.

In "traditional" tapestry projects (using maven), we have the folder
src/main/webapp. In this folder I usually put files like robots.txt or
another files for google and google bot. This files always showed in the
http(s)://mydomain.com/robots.txt. I would like where I can put this static
files with bootique.

For other hand, the app.properties to use in all webapp have to be placed
into src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/app.properties. The same question, where do I
put this files?

As a tapestry user from 2010, I have to say that I love to see integrations
like bootique (or spring boot) to deploy my webapps easily in new
environments (AWS).

Best regards

Carlos Montero

Hi,
regarding serving static resources if they can be served from URL path
/assets/ (or other configured via tapestry.asset-path-prefix), then put
them in META-INF/assets folder (inside src/main/resources for Maven project
structure). They will handled by Tapestry's AssetsDispatcher and can be
potentially pre-processed by Tapestry (e.g. compressed). For other files,
like robots.txt, you can  have special handling in your HomePage that
either returns them as SteamResponse or redirects to assets. Alternatively
you might also create your own Dispatcher (like AssetDispatcher). Finally,
you can use static handling from the stack you are using. I don't know
Bootique, so I cannot help you with that. I use Tapestry with Dropwizard,
and e.g. Dropwizard's way for static assets is to use AssetsBundle.

Just for explanation, "src/main/webapp" thing you mentioned is from
standard Java mechanism for web applications packaged as WAR ("Web
ARchive"). When the WAR is deployed on an app server, it unpacks the
archive and configures an implicit servlet to serve static files from
"webapp" folder.

Regarding app.properties, I put them somewhere on classpath, and register
them in Tapestry as contribution to ComponentMessagesSource. E.g.:

   @Contribute(ComponentMessagesSource.class)
    public static void setupMessages(OrderedConfiguration<Resource>
configuration, AssetSource assetSource) {
        configuration.add("my-properties",
assetSource.resourceForPath("com/example/my-app.properties"));
    }

and put my-app.properties in "com/example" inside "src/main/resources"

Hi Cezary,

For app.properties (app_XX.properties)
@Contribute(ComponentMessagesSource.class) ... works perfectly. Thank you
for you message!

For static files... I was thinking that I will map directly into my
apache/nginx before to redirect to jetty. I asked because until now, with
war package, I had this problem solved very quickly and simple.

Best regards
