Resource management

Hi,

I have a problem grasping concept of resource management within Orbeon, or rather the publishing of it.

I understand that 'basic' files are served autmatically, but when needed you can override or specify this at controller level, using directives, inside the page-flow.xml, like:

<files path-info="*.gif"/>
<files path-info="*.swf" mime-type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/>

Now, suppose I have an application called x, using the standard Orbeon setup, images could be located in:

/apps/x/images/add.gif

When trying to fetch the files straight: http://localhost/apps/x/images/add.gif it works.

Now, when I have a different static resource, such a flash file, it becomes different. Using the same setup:

/apps/x/flash/banner.swf

It fails, because for some reason Orbeon expects a page controller at flash level (and apps/apps?):

Cannot load "/apps/apps/page-flow.xml" with webapp loader

So, what do I do wrong? What is the correct solution?

Thanks in advance,
Mike Ahlers

If you have the above line for the *.swf files in the main page flow
(the one directly under resources), then you should be able to load:

If this fails, you might want to attach to an email a subset of the
files we need to reproduce this.

Mike,

In the top-level page-flow.xml, you find something like this:

<files path-info="(?!/([^/]+)/service/).+\.(gif|css|pdf|json|js|
png|jpg|xsd|htc|ico)" matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher"/>
<files path-info="(?!/([^/]+)/service/).+\.xml"
matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" mime-type="application/xml"/>
<files path-info="(?!/([^/]+)/service/).+\.html?"
matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" mime-type="text/html"/>
<files path-info="(?!/([^/]+)/service/).+\.(java|txt|xq)"
matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" mime-type="text/plain"/>
<files path-info="(?!/([^/]+)/service/).+\.jar"
matcher="oxf:perl5-matcher" mime-type="application/zip"/>

There is currently no match for .swf files, which explains why your
file is not matched. You can add swf extension to the first line and
that should do the trick.

Hi Erik,

Thanks for the solution, it worked. I assumed swf, like images would be served by default for it is accepted static content, that assumption turns out to be wrong. Perhaps it would be convenient to add it standard in the top-level page-flow.xml?

I also learned that it cascades, meaning defining such entry at current level of page-flow.xml does not solve it.

Regards,
Mike

Done already ;-)

You should put this in the top-level page flow I think, since this is
generic enough.
