resource relocation has no effect (for a CDN)

[patman1982]

Hi,

i am totally stuck atm and I hope somebody can help me here.

I want to make a resource-relocation for the css and js files delivered via richfaces from my server.

(like /rfRes/skinning.ecss.xhtml)

I am using richfaces 4.3.1 with Apache and followed exactly the steps described here.

http://docs.jboss.org/richfaces/latest_4_3_X/Developer_Guide/en-US/html/chap-Developer_Guide-Advanced_features.html#sect-Developer_Guide-Advanced_features-Resource_mapping

1) in web-xml i added

<context-param>
     <param-name>org.richfaces.resourceMapping.mappingFile</param-name>
     <param-value>META-INF/richfaces/static-custom-mappings.properties</param-value>
 </context-param>

2) in my projects-folder I created

META-INF/richfaces/static-resource-mappings.properties

and added there:

skinning.css=cdn.mydomain.com/skinning.css

And of course i restart apache.

However this has just no effect.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks for the very appreciated help.

Hey Patrick,

if the redirected resource supposed to be URL, it has to be in URL format, e.g.:

skinning.css=http://cdn.mydomain.com/skinning.css

Hi Lukás

glad that you're trying to help me in that matter, i read a lot of comments from you in various postings regarding this issue.

However, I actually always use "http://" - no success. (I just "forgot" it here in the message)

For example:

I don't know if I have to set where the file is located in my structure.

Do I need to define that in web.xml? Or is there a location this file is supposed to be saved?

Do I need to enable ResourceOptimization or Mapping?

As far as I understood I don't (because mapping is enabled by default), right?

As you can see:

Still every piece of help is still very appreciated.

Hey Patrick,

this blog should make much more clear where to place which resource:

Let me know if it helps.

Hi Lukas,

thanks your bolg gave me the final "kick".

For my project the correct folder was:

project\WEB-INF\classes\META\richfaces where I had to place static-resource-mapping.properties!

Thank you so much!

However I have the feeling that I have some more questions comming up.

Best

Patrick
