Basically what I was thinking, though I didn't know you could get the
container MIME type via the call to ServletContext.
You'll find that your webapps request every image every time though (no
browser caching) since you are not sending the various caching headers.

I found a solution. I subclassed VelocitylayoutServlet and overrode
doRequest method as follows. I am assuming you have set up your Java web
server (e.g. Tomcat) to send all content thru this servlet. This servlet
then farms requests to *.vm to Velocity layout infrastructure, and for all
other requests, it streams binary content from classpath tot the browser.
public class MyVelocityLayoutServlet extends VelocityLayoutServlet {
/**
* Override doRequest, to handle static content
*/
protected void doRequest(HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse
response) throws ServletException, IOException {
String path = ServletUtils.getPath(request);
String mt=getServletContext().getMimeType(path);
//if (mt!=null) response.setContentType(mt);
String extension = "vm";
if (path.indexOf(".") >= 0) {
String[] pathArr = path.split("\\.");
extension = pathArr[pathArr.length - 1].toLowerCase();
}
if (extension.equals("vm")) {
log.trace("Sending to VelocityLayoutServlet: Path=" + path +
";
MIME-type=" + mt + "; extension=" + extension);
super.doRequest(request, response);
} else {
log.trace("Streaming to browser: Path=" + path + ";
MIME-type="
+ mt + "; extension=" + extension);
response.setContentType(mt);
InputStream in = this.getClass().getResourceAsStream (path);
OutputStream out = response.getOutputStream();
int b;
try {
while ((b = in.read()) != -1) {
out.write(b);
}
} finally {
if (in != null) {
in.close();
}
if (out != null) {
out.close();
}
}

Subject: ClasspathResourceLoader trouble loading images, css
To: Velocity Users List <[email protected]>
I am enjoying using VelocityLayoutServlet with
ClasspathResourceLoader. VM
files load great, and the layout loads wonderfully too. The trick is: how
can I get images, CSS, and other static content to load via classpath as
well? Or how can I get them load at all?
THANKS!
David
