Hi Thiago, Thanks for all your responses.I am still stuck with the problem related to the loading of images , when less to css compilation is forced by us.
As I told you: In the less file the images are referenced with paths, like @product: url(../images/product.svg)--( though I agree that we can provide it with a prefix, but anyways this convention still use to work for me before). The tapestry considers the images as an asset and translates the given path as :- (/appContext/assets/ctx/6787fbc2/images/product.svg), when I use the tapestry default Less to css compilation But in my case the url path remains the same as "../images/product.svg" in the translated css, and is not treated as an asset. My approach:- xyz.less--which imports other less files containing I am directly using @Inject @Path("context:css/xyz.less") private Asset lessFile; LessResourceTransformer lessResourceTransformer = new LessResourceTransformer() return lessResourceTransformer.transform(lessFile.getResource(), new ResourceDependencies() { @Override public void addDependency(Resource dependency) { } }); I debugged and found out that the images are created as an asset in AbstratAssetFactory class along with the help of few more classes. These classes are called very early in the framework flow, and are complex to re-use. As per my understanding , the Less transformer should by default take care of parsing and creating the url as (/appContext/assets/ctx/6787fbc2/images/product.svg) in the less file. Debugging into the LessResourceTransformer class(which has very less java docs),makes bit tough for me to find out the actual solution to it. Any suggestions from you would be of great help.
