(but not a particularly elegant one).
So as I mentioned before, Mephisto wants to route most requests for
static content through its theming engine. This means that in general
the simple wildcarding of subdirectories under public doesn't work...it
causes all requests for static content to get routed to the file
servlet, when there should actually be a fallback on the Rails servlet
if a file isn't found.
So obviously the correct fix is that the file servlet and the rails
servlet should be on friendly terms, with the file servlet failing over
to the Rails servlet when a file doesn't exist, and allowing Rails to
handle it. This would be standard Rails behavior, or so it would seem.
My temporary fix seems to be working "well enough" however, and I am
able to deploy a fully-working Mephisto instance locally. Here's the
change I made in create_war.rb:
public_dir = File.join(config.staging, 'public')
public_files = []
public_filelist = Rake::FileList.new(File.join(public_dir, '**/*'))
public_filelist.each do |f|
relative = f[public_dir.length..f.length]
#relative += File::SEPARATOR + '*' if File.directory?(f)
public_files << relative unless File.directory?(f)
end
Yup, you're reading that right...instead of adding all files under
public directly and all directories as wildcarded paths, this adds all
files under all directories by name to web.xml. That certainly clutters
up the descriptor, but it allows only files that actually exist to be
handled by the file servlet.
The correct solution would be much nicer, of course, so I'll see if I
can't look into that next. But this workaround functions reasonably well.
