Apache Tiles 2.1.4 with CSS
I am using Apache Tiles 2.1.4 with Spring MVC 3. I have managed to configure these together and everything works fine. My next step is to add CSS and this is where I am having an issue - this is most probably a simple one but I can't get my template jsp to pick up the css.
Snippet fr开发者_运维知识库om my tiles-defs.xml
<definition name="baseLayout" template="/WEB-INF/tiles/baseLayout.jsp">
<put-attribute name="title" value="Template"/>
<put-attribute name="header" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/header.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="styles" value="base.css"/>
<put-attribute name="subheader" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/subheader.jsp"/>
<put-attribute name="menu" value="/WEB-INF/tiles/menu.jsp"/>
<put-list-attribute name="bodyItems">
<add-attribute value="/WEB-INF/tiles/body.jsp"/>
</put-list-attribute>
Snippet from my template jsp (baseLayout.jsp)
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/WEB-INF/css/displayTagTable.css"/>
Snippet from my css:
body {
background-color: red;
}
I have kept the css as simple as possible just to check if my jsp picks up the css file.
I have also checked that my css file is in the correct location - but my jsp file is not picking up the css file. Can someone help?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks, Zahanghir
Files within WEB-INF
aren't served directly through public URLs. Spring and tiles are able to indirectly serve JSPs files from WEB-INF
programatically.
Can you please try moving the css directory into WebContent and updating your <link>
tag's href
attribute?
After you get that working, I have a suggestion. You can use Tiles tags if you include this page directive at the tops of your JSPs:
<%@taglib prefix="tiles" uri="http://tiles.apache.org/tags-tiles"%>
If you want, this allows you to store your CSS path as an attribute in tiles-defs.xml
, and retrieve it from your JSPs with the tag:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"
href="<tiles:getAsString name="IDENTIFIER_HERE"/>"/>
Your CSS URL will replace the tiles tag. And you could use this CSS path across multiple Tiles definitions.
The rest of the Tiles tags are documented here: Tiles Tag Reference Sheet
