如何使本地JBOSS AS 7提供静态资源？

Question

As a standard, my static resources need to stay in a centralized location, out of my EARs / WARs (so that they can be updated without rolling out a new release for minor JS/CSS changes).

My HTML imports are relative, eg:

<script type="text/javascript" src="/resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

This means that the URLs to resources are different on every server (development, test, production..):

On dev-foobar.com :

dev-foobar.com /resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js

On tst-foobar.com :

tst-foobar.com /resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js

On foobar.com :

foobar.com /resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js

But when I'm on my LOCAL Jboss ( localhost:8080 ), how can I instruct it to serve the same static resources to achieve the following URL ?

localhost:8080 /resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js

Answer 1

JBoss handles all the static resources through a folder called welcome-content under $JBOSS_HOME :

C:\\Program Files\\EAP-6.2.0\\jboss-eap-6.2\\ welcome-content

Simply put something there, and it will be exposed in the root context.

For example, it's sufficient to copy the sample folders and file described in the question:

C:\\Program Files\\EAP-6.2.0\\jboss-eap-6.2\\ welcome-content\\resources \\myApp\\js\\bootstrap.min.js

to end with the file (but not the folders) being accessible through the URL:

localhost:8080/resources/myApp/js/bootstrap.min.js

Well done, Red Hat !
