I'm a bit confused about ContextImage; according to the javadocs the
image path "will be prefixed such that the image is relative to the
context root".
In my markup I've got:
<img wicket:id="logo" src="mylogo.gif" />
Then I add the Context image to my WebPage:
add(new ContextImage("logo", "images/logos/mylogo.gif"));
... and I end up with:
<img src="../images/logos/mylogo.gif" />
My application is deployed with a context root of /myapp and this
doesn't work, it will only work if the application is deployed with a
context root of /. I've checked the source which ContextImage uses to
get the context root and in org.apache.wicket.Request it says:
/**
* Gets a prefix to make this relative to the context root.
* <p>
* For example, if your context root is http://server.com/myApp/ and
the request is for
* /myApp/mountedPage/, then the prefix returned might be "../../".
* <p>
* For a particular technology, this might return either an absolute
prefix or a relative one.
*
* @return Prefix relative to this request required to back up to
context root.
*/
public abstract String getRelativePathPrefixToContextRoot();
To me this just seems plain wrong, here it clearly states that the
context root is "http://server.com/myApp/"; but the example prefix of
"../../" relative to "/myApp/mountedPage/" does not take you to the
context root of /myApp/ but to /.
This is very confusing as I've always considered the context root of a
java web application to to be the path upon which it is deployed on
the application server, whether that be /, /myApp or /apps/myApp and
in the above case I do not end up with an image path relative to the
context root.
Without hard-coding the name of my context root in the image path (bad
idea for portability) how can I reference static images stored in an
images directory under the context root?
Should I file this as a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
