Documentation enhancement for themes (add JSF requestContextPath to example) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1060 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1060 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Documentation Affects Versions: 1.2.0.GA Environment: All Reporter: Arjan van Bentem Priority: Optional I know the following is actually JSF related: http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBoss/jboss-seam/doc/reference/en/modules... shows the following example: <link href="#{theme.css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> Maybe the following text can be added right below it: Or, when the page definition resides in some subdirectory: <link href="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/#{theme.css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> So: <para> Or, when the page definition resides in some subdirectory: </para> <programlisting><![CDATA[ <link href="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/#{theme.css}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> ]]></programlisting> Furthermore, http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBoss/jboss-seam/doc/reference/en/modules... shows css ../screen.css template template.xhtml while http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBoss/jboss-seam/doc/reference/en/modules... refers to that last line using <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" template="#{theme.template}"> When this ui:composition is used in a page file that resides in a subdirectory (such as /admin) then the last line needs a leading slash. One could also add that leading slash to the property file. Again, this is a JSF issue. But when the template is not found then (in my world) one does not get any meaningful error message other than a Tomcat "The requested resource (xxx.seam) is not available" when JSF cannot find the template file (while the logs show that Seam is not having any trouble setting up the components as used in that page). This might be avoided by using the leading slash in the example: css ../screen.css template /template.xhtml So: <programlisting><![CDATA[css ../screen.css template /template.xhtml]]></programlisting> (I actually also wonder why the css refers to some relative path in this example, but an erroneous value would only yield a broken layout when the stylesheet is not found, and is much easier solved -- especially when knowing about facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
