No, it is not working without an absolute path. :(
Let me explain why and maybe there is a solution that I do not see.
I have a block and my main webapp, where I only define some contracts.
All requests are passed to the block which is using my project specific
contracts for doing transformations and alike.
The request/response circle is something like the following:
request -> myWebapp -> dispatcher-block -> locationmap-resolving ->
dispatcher-block -> myWebapp -> response
The problem is with this invocation that
<match pattern="dispatcher.home">
<location src="{global:dispatcher.home}"/>
</match>
needs to be absolute.
Will developing I had
<match pattern="dispatcher.home">
<location src=""/>
</match>
...
<match pattern="hooks-to-*.xsl">
<location src="{lm:dispatcher.home}resource/stylesheets/{0}"/>
</match>
which was working fine since I was testing the dispatcher-block, but now
since I am in my webapp now the relative path is resolved to the current
app and not to the dispatcher block any more.
Meaning the resources cannot be found anymore.
I could not find the block-context: which Grzegorz has recommended.
Anybody has an idea, since I am running out of them?
TIA
