To generate a link, you need a request… so I suggest you do one of the following
1. Use cron and wget to hit your app via a http request instead of a @Startup job inside your app 2. Generate the link at some point in time when you have a HTTPServletRequest and save it for later 3. Use a @Symbol for the base URL and generate the link yourself NB. I started a project where you could render tapestry-templates offline but never finished or tested it… it's nearly done https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-offline The idea was to generate a fake request where half the request was sourced from an overridable global service and the other half was a runtime value. https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-offline/blob/master/src/main/java/org/lazan/t5/offline/services/OfflineComponentRenderer.java https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-offline/blob/master/src/main/java/org/lazan/t5/offline/services/OfflineRequestGlobals.java https://github.com/uklance/tapestry-offline/blob/master/src/main/java/org/lazan/t5/offline/OfflineRequestContext.java If there's enough interest in this… I'll resurrect the project and finish it off.
