Hi Jim, please the the comment on the gwc issue < https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pull/62#issuecomment-2578071>
I think the way to go would be making it so that those static resources are served through the /web gwc endpoint. Hope that helps, Gabriel On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 2:38 AM, Jim Groffen <[email protected]>wrote: > Hello folks, **** > > ** ** > > I have this pending pull request for the GeoWebCache project:**** > > ** ** > > https://github.com/GeoWebCache/geowebcache/pull/62**** > > ** ** > > ** ** > > Gabriel has been helping me push my work back into GeoWebCache and it’s > all ready-to-go from the GeoWebCache project’s point of view, but I’m > running into trouble with the GeoServer integration part.**** > > ** ** > > The problem is GeoServer grabs the JAR’s for GeoWebCache but any static > HTML files were copied and duplicated between the projects.
