Re: [railo] <img and <link tag don't work

[Igal Sapir]

In order for Tomcat top serve those files you need to setup a servlet mapping and map those extensions (e.g *.gif and *.css) to that servlet.

You can try either "default" for the servlet name or setup the FileServlet that ships with Railo.

Dear all, I installed the latest railo server (4.0.4.001) on W7. I created a folder "test" in "c:\railo\tomcat\webapps" and added

<Host name="address" appBase="webapps"
   unpackWARs="true" autoDeploy="true"
   xmlValidation="false" xmlNamespaceAware="false">
   <Context path="" docBase="C:\railo\tomcat\webapps\test" />
</Host>

The page is accessible at http://address/index.cfm, but the tags, e.g. <link href="CSS/bc.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" /> and <img src="images/blind.gif" width="1" height="70" /> don't work. The files are in "c:\railo\tomcat\webapps\test\CSS" and "C:\railo\tomcat\webapps\test\images", respectively.

I searched, but couldn't find why doesn't it work and how can this be solved?

TIA.

Ok, thanks. I found https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/railo/DmLUzaCGX_8/6Do6u3I3Q6cJ and added a FileServlet to c:\railo\tomcat\conf\web.xml, restarting tomcat service. I added

<servlet>
  <servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
  <description>File Servlet for static files</description>
  <servlet-class>railo.loader.servlet.FileServlet</servlet-class>
  <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
  <servlet-name>FileServlet</servlet-name>
  <url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

but id didn't work.

TIA.

my guess is that you are using IIS as front webserver and static file requests aren't being passed all way through to tomcat. If you want static files delivered by tomcat you will have to add extendsions in the IIS-Admin for handlers, so that requests for that files will be passed to tomcats IIS connector. But best way is to have those static files delivered by IIS directly. Then make sure static file handler is set in the IIS also and the paths are set up in IIS corectly also.

best regards.

yes, that was the problem. Thank you!
