Restlet css and javascript files

Question

WebContent - resources - css - style.css WEB-INF - index.html

public synchronized Restlet createInboundRoot() {
    Router router = new Router(getContext());
    router.attach("/", IndexResource.class); 
    return router;
}

The IndexResource executes an HTML Respresentation (index.html)

In my index.html I have specified a css file. The problem is that it cannot be found.

  <link href="/resources/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

I think /resources/css/style.css is going via restlet and not the actual file path. How do I stop the resources folder executing as a servlet (restlet)?

try making your link relative "resources/css/style.css" instead of absolute — Sean

Must your css file need to be served by Restlet? If so, you should consider using the Directory class as described below (in your application class):

public Restlet createInboundRoot() {
    Router router = new Router(getContext());
    (...)
    router.attach("/resources", new Directory(getContext(), "file://<STATIC_DIR>"));
}

In this case you need to have css/style.css under the folder.

Hope it helps you. Thierry

I would prefer it not to be served by restlet but it always goes through as a servlet. I'm not sure how to stop it.All I attach is: router.attach("/", IndexResource.class);

When you stay <STATIC_DIR> do you mean: C:/Users/<MyUsername>/rest/webapp/ or C:/Users/<MyUsername>/rest/webapp/resources
