Hi again Austin, the purpose of fallbackid is to execute an element when no URL matches in the scope of the site. Of course, if you put this on the root site, everything that's not an element will cause the fallback element to be execute. Without a fallbackid, RIFE's servlet filter basically defers the execution to the next filter in the chain, which is usually you're servlet container's default filter ... that serves files like stylesheets, scripts, images, ...
Now, there's a way around this by using the com.uwyn.rife.engine.elements.Defer element (rife/defer.xml if you prefer). If you declare elements in your site for all the paths that have content, you create elements that will not be caught by fallbackid, but still defer the execution to the servlet container. For instance: <element id="DeferImages" file="rife/defer.xml" url="/images/*"/> or <element id="DeferImages" implementation="com.uwyn.rife.engine.elements.Defer" url="/images/*"/> HTH, Geert On 14 Oct 2007, at 16:23, Austin Coose wrote: > > And another question, > > How exactly do I used the "fallbackid"? > > I tried to use the <site fallbackid=".."> ... > > But all stylesheets and scripts associated with my application > disappeared, but when I looked at the source in the browser, it > displayed the correct (or at least the same) webapp root url.
