On a related note;
this thread revived my interest in simplifying WO's serving of "WebServerResources" and getting rid of the "split install", so I wrote a ResourceManager/RequestHandler combo last weekend for serving WebServerResources from the application.
Since it's something I *really* want, I've started dogfooding, deployed it in all of my apps and it works seemingly well. Nice to have the same simple URLs for all resources in both dev and prod, and *very* nice not having to worry about any web server files. It's a part of wonder-slim, but should work fine in any Wonder app:
https://github.com/undur/wonder-slim/blob/master/ERExtensions/src/main/java/er/extensions/resources/ERXResourceManagerExperimental.java
Example in production (see for example; URLs for scripts and stylesheets in the page header):
https://www.neytandinn.is/
Still has a couple of outstanding issues, as seen from the FIXME/TODO list at the top of the file. But once those are done, I'd like to revisit another related old dream, post-processing (specifically; templating) of webserver-resources. Did a little testing, just to see how it would work out to process a simple string template…
https://gist.github.com/hugithordarson/357f7ac603e2d9a4b69daa495d4ece11
…but I think a generic solution for this could and should be written into the application-based request handler. Hope to have time to get to work on that during next weekend.
Cheers,
