Shane Bryzak commented on JBSEAM-819:
-------------------------------------

Both the captcha servlet and remoting servlet have now been incorporated into ResourceServlet.  Next thing is to create a WebResourceProvider that will provide additional javascript resources, images, css, etc.

I'm thinking that this class should be part of the UI package - what I'm looking for is suggestions as to where we place the physical resource files, and how they are exposed via the resource servlet.  For example, if we provide a default CSS file for selectDate, the resource path for this might be:

/seam/resource/web/selectdate/default.css
  or
/seam/resource/web/css/selectdate.css

The physical resource file can be stored anywhere in the seam-ui jar file.  One possibility is to place it in either:

org.jboss.seam.ui.resource

  or more control-specific:

org.jboss.seam.ui.selectdate

The last step is to actually map the resource path to the physical resource file.  This could be done any number of ways - xml file, annotations, hard-coded based on requested resource path, etc.  Thoughts?

> Create a Seam resource servlet for serving non-jsf resources, such as javascript, images, css, etc.  It should replace SeamRemotingServlet and CaptchaServlet, and accept requests for something like "/seam/resource/*", and depending on the path delegate control to various resource providers, e.g:
> /seam/resource/remoting - delegate to Seam Remoting
> /seam/resource/captcha - delegate to Captcha image provider
> /seam/resource/jsfcontrol - delegate to JSF Control javascript provider (JS resources for selectDate, etc).
