You can definitely have Tomcat or another Web server serve your static resources. The advantage of having them served by OXF is that the resources can then reside within the realm of the OXF resource manager. One disadvantage is that OXF is not particularly optimized to serve static resources.

Hi, Just an idea.
what would be the impact on using OXF if I remove the following code bit from struts.xpl and serve the images, stylesheets and JS files directly?
<p:when test="contains(/request/request-path, '.css') or contains(/request/request-path, '.js') or contains(/request/request-path, '.gif') or contains(/request/request-path, '.png')"> <p:processor uri="oxf/processor/resource-server"> <p:input name="config" href="aggregate('path', #path#xpointer(string(/request/request-path)))"/> <p:input name="mime-type" href="oxf:/oxf/mime-types.xml"/> </p:processor> </p:when>
and of course following mapping from web.xml
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>oxf</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>oxf</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>oxf</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>oxf</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.png</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
Thanks, Kesara.

Subject: Resorce Problem
Hi,
I'm trying to create a "WAR" file and launch it in Tomcat 4.1.27 with struts integration (oxf version 2.0.2). This war works fine in JBoss with integrated tomcat (Now I'm trying to separate the EJB server and Servlet container into two different machines) however my images doesn't appear on the pages now. If i give a url (http://localhost:8080/arasys/default/images/imgLoginCurveBottomLeft.gif) for the image direct this is what I get. However the tomcat console says
2003-09-25 17:01:18,268 INFO org.orbeon.oxf.servlet.ProcessorService - /arasys/default/images/imgLoginCurveBottomLeft.
gif - Timing: 2764 - Cache hits: 7, fault: 14, adds: 15, success rate: 33%
I've attached the web.xml. These images do exist in the said folder and I can access them when I remove the following mapping
<servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>oxf</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping>
HTTP Status 404 -
