Loading static resources & templates from classpath

[Andres Almiray]

Hi all,

Given the current crop of examples posted by Alex it seems to me that
resources are expected to be located somewhere in the file system,
where the running script has access. This is cool but it certainly
hinders Gretty's ability to be embeddable (say a Griffon app (What?! I
can't deny I only think about Griffon) ;-).

It would be great if Gretty had an option to search for its resources
in the classpath. We did this for the RatcPack server as well so I
figure it shouldn't be that difficult.

Thoughts?

Use staticResources instead of static. It should work.

[Andres Almiray]

Thanks for the prompt response Alex. Would you happen to have an
example of staticResources in action? :-)

See https://github.com/alextkachman/gretty/blob/master/Examples/_._._toImprove/groovychat/PureGroovyHttpServer.groovy

This is very typical usecase - js library in classpath

Sweet! That's precisely what I needed.
Thanks again Alex.

Just for records - static files from file system is fastest possible
way (after CDN) of handling static resources
