manuel aldana commented on TAP5-423:
------------------------------------

sure, any ideas and source code appreciated (maybe just attach it to ticket). i 
am also looking into other assets (CDN -> simple url passthrough, database), 
but currently working on the filesystem thing only.

I decided in favor of:
@Path("filesystem:/fs1/asset.txt")
private Asset filesystemAsset; 

'filesystem' says it is a filesystem assets. 'fs1' stands as a symbol. for that 
symbol you need to configure a mapping *configuration.put(fs1,/srv/images/)*. 
you can define as many fs[0-9] as you want. 

currently the symbol is fixed to the fs[0-9]+ pattern, so the AssetDispatcher 
knows to dispatch it to a filesystem resource. this implies that client would 
know from url pattern that the asset points to the filesystem (this is somehow 
consistent to ctx/ and app/ snippets of current asset types). don't know 
whether this is a security issue....

for non existent files, maybe it is good to just return a HTTP 404 instead of 
displaying exception report page.

> currenty it is built in to retrieve assets from classpath and from webcontext.
> a file system asset type which can retrieve stuff directly from the 
> filesystem (e.g. from /srv/statics/xxxx) makes also sense. 
> something like:
> *ResourceFileSystem extends AbstractResource* and *FileSystemAssetFactory 
> extends AssetFactory*
