I created a Play! app and deployed it under TomCat. This works well. The only problem is the management of a properties file, currently in the conf folder right next to application.conf. But as soons as the client replaces the war file the custom properties are overwritten with the default values, resulting in errors.
Now I want to introduce a seperate properties file placed inside the webapps folder. This way I will be sure my clients will not overwrite the file 'accidentally'.
So the structure would be:
TomCat webapps:
myPlayApp
PlayConfig <-- here I want to place the config file
So I would like to retrieve the properties file by something like:
getFile("../PlayConfig/app.properties");
This obvious does not work, but I do not know how to achieve this?
I thought retrieving it by tomcat http url but the portnumber my vary, so this would also not work, I guess...
UPDATE 2012-01-25:
Actually when using the following code:
Play.applicationPath.getPath();
I get the absolute path when running the project outside tomcat (so not inside war file!)
When I deploy the same project in a TomCat server I get the following output:
W:\tomcat-5.5\webapps\MyTestProject\WEB-INF\application.
From this point on I can indeed use a relative path.
I think that when deployed in a Servlet container, play uses the /WEB-INF/application as base directory.
Try changing the path relative to this folder.

I am getting a problem in deploying my app to the server. The problem is i have folders inside the webroot which points to the .css and .js files.
I was doing the basic cakephp function $this->Html->css('bootstrap') when my simple css files were in the css folder but now there are some other folders inside the webroot because of using the plugins for the frontend UI.
For this i have changed my url to like this $this->Html->css('/global/plugin/file')
Problem is on local it is working fine because of virtual host example.com but on live server i have domain like this 192.168.00.00/mysite so it go to the main directory to and link the ip 192.168.00.00 instead of going to 192.168.00.00/mysite.
Is there any good way to solve this and add the flexibility to the url so that my local and live will not be disturbed while i push my code through git?
Just removes '/' from $this->Html->css('/global/plugin/file') to below
<?php
$this->Html->css('global/plugin/file');
$this->Html->script('global/plugin/file'); //example loading file.js
?>
I already had an issue about this one including my JS and CSS inside a folder but when I removed '/' it solve my problem.
Confirm that their is a file.css inside plugin inside webroot\css\global\plugin\file.css windows path or LINUX path /webroot/css/global/plugin/file.css
I am a beginar of m2e application development by using eclipse(kepler) and my server is jboss 7.1.1 final.I have two war files,one is for client and second is for server .I have an url pattern such as "myproject.com".Now my question is I want to access the data which is present in server war file even I made a changes i.e added the version number to war file for example "Server.war" to "Server0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.war" by using pom.xml file of my project.Would you please explain me what are the changes I need to do in my pom.xml file.
Thanks in advance,

I am assuming that you want to keep the same web context despite the war file's name or whatever... In Jboss AS7 you can set the war's context root using the jboss-web.xml deployment descriptor. Just create the file into your_war/WEB-INF folder with this content,
<jboss-web>
<context-root>Server.war</context-root>
</jboss-web>
With maven you can package/install the war using a custom name and concat the version number if you want.
Set a custom name using <finalName> tag inside the build section, for example:
<finalName>ServerAnotherName-${project.version}</finalName>
Removing the tag, the default name will be ${project.artifactId}-${project.version}
similar questions have been asked before, regarding grails 2(.3, .4). I find it strange that i could not find a way to do this, as it seems a standard use-case to me.
I simply want to serve html-pages, including their linked .css and .js (angular and jquery content) when i run grails run-app.
I want to check if my http-calls are handeled correctly on both sides - without needing to deploy a .war and configuring a database.
afaik grails run-app simply starts a jetty/tomcat - both of which can obviously serve .html pages. What do i have to do to make the grails development-tooling deploy my files?
I need to make http-requests,
so using a different Server would violate JS-SOP,
while deploying the .war would greatly slow down the development process
I've so far only found clunky jsonp, proxy, .war deployment solutions, or solutions for grails 2.x
I tried placing the files literally everywhere in the projects' structure (/src/main, /src/main/resources, /src/main/public, the assets folder and its subfolders, created web-app directories in every subdirectory, the Init, domain, conf directories - you name it)
Add the index.html to src/main/resources/public
Then add this to UrlMappings.groovy:
"/"(redirect:"/index.html")
For grails >= 3.0.12
Location of static resources
In order to resolve an issue around how POST requests are treated for
REST applications on non-existent resources, static resources located
in src/main/resources/public are now resolved under the /static/** URI
by default, instead of the base URI /**. If you wish to restore the
previous behaviour add the following configuration:
grails.resources.pattern = '/**'
https://github.com/grails/grails-core/releases/tag/v3.0.12
Contrary to the accepted answer, you don't need a redirect. I have made able to make this work with the following config:
UrlMappings.groovy
"/"(uri: "/index.html")
application.yml
grails:
resources:
pattern: '/**'
Finally, you just need to have your index.html file located under src/main/webapp
I am trying to setup a localhost version of our site and have a problem getting this setup correctly.
Both our live and localhost site have this directory structure:
/na_cms/expressionengine/templates/default_site/c.group
/na_cms/expressionengine/templates/default_site/j.group
/na_cms/expressionengine/templates/default_site/default.group
/na_cms/expressionengine/templates/default_site/inc.group
On our live site, CSS files in our templates are accessed like this:
href=“css/c/modal.css”
src=“j/jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js”
How do I get rid of the 404 not found errors for the CSS and javascript files on the localhost site?
My config file has
$config[‘rewrite_short_tags’] = TRUE;
I'm obviously using assumptions here until further information gleamed...
You're using templates to hold your JS and CSS, rather than external files (Nothing wrong with that), so they're not technically relative URLs - it's pulled from the database so you won't have any more of a path than template group and template. The browser will not be targeting these template files directly, it will be EE providing them.
In your j.group folder I'm assuming you have a file called "jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js.js", which relates to a template group called "j" and a template called "jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js"?
What I'm a bit confused at is "css/c/modal.css", as this is indicating a template group called css, but you've stated your template group is called "c" and the template is "modal.css". Possibly this was a mistake, or you've got a "css" template group and falling into the index template...?
Firstly, check your template folder settings in EE, Design -> Templates -> Template Manager, then "Global Template Preferences". Look for "Basepath to Template File Directory". I'm assuming that you copied the online database to your local, rather than a new fresh install?
If you're using htaccess rewriting, check that is working on your local.
Failing that, try changing the paths to the CSS and JS to use the path variable:
src=“{path='j/jquery-ui-1.8.4.custom.min.js'}”

Hi I am using drupal 6.x and ubercart 2.x. I trie dto create a product,but when it comes to add the file download feature I am getting some issue. I put a folder called downloads in the drupal folder and one file inside the download folder.then I gave the path as "drupal/downloads but it is telling that drupal/downloads is not a valid file or directory"
I tied the following file paths too
1.www.mysite.com/drupal/downloads/faq.ods
2.drupal/downloads/faq.ods
3.drupal/faq.ods(after putting faq.ods in the drupal folder.
But still I am getting the same message. Plesae some body help me
It is looking for a path rather than a URL. You should probably aim to find out from your hosting company what the absolute path for your webroot is (e.g. www.mysite.com may actually be on disk as /users/mysite.com/httpdocs) and put in that followed by /drupal/downloads
