Hi Daniel, I agree with others about the javascript and image resources but there is an extra bit that hadn't been mentioned. Sure, you can put these "static" resources in a "magic" location from the root of your webserver and then reference them from your app. But then it is outside of your app and a minor headache to sync with various updates to your app. Not so bad though, pefectly fine and easy to comprehend. Alternatively you can stick most of those "static" resources in the "Webserver Resources" folder of your WO project. Then, in pure java, use "addScriptResourceToHead()" (and similar methods) to pull in those various files. This is harder for some to wrap their head around but it gives a nice and tight ".woa" with everything together. You can't always do this trick but for javascript resources it will work. CSS that references images is trickier, those images might need to be in a "magic" spot but the CSS itself can be loaded this way. Now the other bit, the auto-force-login, could be taken care of with a nice "PageWrapper.wo" component that you create. On every page you probably want to use a page wrapper just to have a consistent look and feel. You can start off with something simple that has nothing but just a "WOComponentContent" in it. Then add common menus and layout to it. All the "special" stuff for a particular page will show up in the "WOComponentContent" location. Now if you beef up your page wrapper with extra java logic and woConditionals, you can always force that a user be logged in, or need to create an account, before showing them the "special" content of the page. It becomes universal for every page you use the page wrapper on. -- Aaron Daniel Brajkovic <da...@br...> wrote on 04-07-2009 02:17:16 PM: > Didn't they just find a "Gianduia man" fossil in Myanmar.
