Hi there,
I am developing a simple application using JSF and Facelets, running on Apache Tomcat 6. At the main page I'm using nice JQuery based menu, found at
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/csslibrary/item/jquery_multi_level_css_menu_2/, which is the root of the problem.
Directory structure is as follows:
The problem is that these small arrows next to menu labels show up ONLY when I invoke application using
http://localhost:8080/webapp address. Typing in
http://localhost:8080/webapp/faces/home.xhtml brings home.xhtml page, jquery menu works fine, but arrows could not be loaded. As far as I know, when I type in
http://localhost:8080/webapp the index.jsp is loaded. Because of <jsp:forward page="/faces/home.xhtml"/> request is redirected to JSF servlet, and in turn,
http://localhost:8080/webapp/faces/home.xhtml is loaded (However, I'm not sure when exactly Facelets come to play).
So, at the first glance, the result of both operations should be identical, but it isn't. How could it be?
I think that possible cause of the problem may be the following line in menu's js file:
var arrowimages={down:['downarrowclass', "img/down.gif", 23], right:['rightarrowclass', 'img/right.gif']}
This js file is included in template, on which home.xhtml is based:
<script src="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/js/jqueryslidemenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
I think that because of some actions I'm not aware of, the paths to images may be incorrectly interpreted.
Moreover, when I click on either link in my menu, situation is exactly the same - destination page is loaded, but the arrows are gone.
Navigation rules at faces-config.xml are as follows:
<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>home</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/home.xhtml</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>about</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/about.xhtml</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Thanks for reading, if something is unclear please post, I'll try to clarify.
