Hi Wayne,
I'm not shure about the 'best' way to solve this, but one of the easyest
is to provide a bean method for getting the contectPath.
public static String getContextPath() {
return
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequestContextPath();
}
Put this in a ManagedBean, then you can access it like this:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="${BEAN_NAME.contextPath}/style/css/project.css"
type="text/css"/>
Note the '${...}', the '#{...}' syntax can only used inside jsf tag
attributes.
Regards
Volker
