Static Web Content¶

Static web content can be served by the Jetty web server embedded inside the FWD application server. It is configured with help of these directory settings under /server/default root node.

Example

        <node class="container" name="web-static-content">
          <node class="container" name="applicationSystemHelp">
            <node class="string" name="context">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/app/help"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="resource">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/com/goldencode/testcases/HTML/"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="file">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="index.html"/>
            </node>
          </node>
        </node>

Where:

• The container name (e.g. applicationSystemHelp) is just a string identifier. It has no meaning or usage other than to group these values into a unique entry.
• The value /app/help of context node defines the public context path to the web static resources.
• The resources can be located by the value /com/goldencode/testcases/HTML/ of resource node.
• The optional node file defines the welcome page that is displayed for https://host:port/app/help.

The web static resource can be located within the application jar file or the file system on the FWD server. The values of context and resource are given by case-sensitive absolute paths starting from the root /.

These 3 nodes: context, resource and file are children of the named container node that represents the web static resource.

          <node class="container" name="applicationSystemHelp">
            <node class="string" name="context">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/app/help"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="resource">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/com/goldencode/testcases/HTML/"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="file">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="index.html"/>
            </node>
          </node>

The name "applicationSystemHelp" of this container node can be any unique string identifier. All web resource container nodes are children of the web-static-content root node.

        <node class="container" name="web-static-content">
          <node class="container" name="applicationSystemHelp">
            <node class="string" name="context">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/app/help"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="resource">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/com/goldencode/testcases/HTML/"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="file">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="index.html"/>
            </node>
          </node>
          <node class="container" name="licenseAgreementsHelp">
            <node class="string" name="context">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/app/license"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="resource">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="/com/goldencode/license/"/>
            </node>
            <node class="string" name="file">
              <node-attribute name="value" value="main.html"/>
            </node>
          </node>
        </node>
