How can I deliver javascript and html via embedded URL's?

[joshuapk]

I am trying to send some javascript and html to the browser.  In order to do so, I have code that embeds the following headers in the page:

<script charset="utf-8" src="/lucidityodf-portlet/js/webodf.js" type="text/javascript"/>

The problem is that jboss does not serve resources from the root URL; so this url:

http://localhost:8080/lucidityodf-portlet/js/webodf.js

...results in a resource not found error.

The javascript file resides in /js/webodf.js in the WAR file I used to deploy.  Where do I need to put this javascript so that it is visible to the "outside world"?

The easiest way to ensure that a javascript resource is given a url that is accessible within your JSF portlet is to use the outputScript tag from JSF:

<h:outputScript library="js" name="webodf.js" />

The javascript file would also need to be moved into the following location in the WAR:

/resources/js/webodf.js

Hope that helps.
