Resource search order

[David Goodenough]

I seem to recall reading somewhere that ofbiz has a set of places it looks
to find things like images and css files.  As I recall the search order
is first in the application/<app>/webapp/ directory, then in the framework
directory.  Do I recall this right, if not what determines which directory
a given URL will be resolved against.

In particular I am trying to include my own .css file for the ecommerce
application, I have copied it from framework/images/webapp/images/ to
applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/images (it being ecommain.css)
but the browser still seems to get the old one.  Do I have to delete (or
rename) the old one in order to get the new one loaded?  I do have caching
turned off in Firefox).  By getting the old one I mean that I changed
something (a font size) and the font remained the same size when I refreshed
the page.

Both the main css and the blog css seem to be found using /images/<name>.css
which I think means that I have recalled this right, but I am confused as to
why the copy does not seem to have worked.

Hi,

I think you can set the path at
applications/product/config/catalog.properties file (image.server.path).

Hi,
you can also look at ecommerce/widget/CommonScreens.xml:main-decorator

<set field="layoutSettings.styleSheets[+0]"
value="/ecommerce/images/blog.css" global="true"/>
                <set field="layoutSettings.styleSheets[+0]" value="${
productStore.styleSheet}" default-value="/images/ecommain.css"
global="true"/>

That is fine for images, but I am asking about things like .css files.

Well I think this list is incomplete, it seems to look in the application
directory as well (see below).

I checked out a version a couple of days ago.  Why, has this changed
recently?

it was more your description of how you thought ofbiz did things that
prompted the question.
in the last 12 months there has been considerable structure changes.
I did not want to talk about a version you did not have.
however you have gotten a good answer from
Abhishake Agarwal

Hello David,

I was able to load the css from
/applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/images/webapp/images

following is the steps I followed to resolve this,

1) I had copied the  /framework/images folder to
/applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/ folder.

NOTE: structure of images folder copied should also contain
ofbiz-component.xml (same as /framework/images/ofbiz-component.xml)

2) following entry has been inserted to /framework/component-load.xm file,

<load-component component-location="${ofbiz.home
}/applications/ecommerce/webapp/ecommerce/images"/>

3) restart your server and also clear your browser cache

now you will able to see all the css get render from your ecommerce part and
not from framework.

I tried this and it is working.

Regards,
Abhishake
