[Exist-open] How to return static files in a RESTXQ web application

SourceForge Headquarters 1320 Columbia Street Suite 310 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Hello,

I’m attempting to create my first RESTXQ web application. I’m unable to figure out how to make use of static files such as images, CSS, and JavaScript files in a RESTXQ context in eXist. Where should such files reside on the filesystem, and how are they referenced in relative URLs? For example, let’s say I’ve got my XQuery modules in /db/apps/my-app/ in which controller.xqm acts as the MVC controller and contains RESTXQ resource functions. Meanwhile the directory /db/apps/my-app/css/ contains CSS files. Other XQuery modules contain MVC views that return HTML to the browser. When including a CSS file in the HTML <head>, what path should be used to refer to a CSS file? I was assuming that something like <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="css/my.css"/> would suffice, since it is relative to the location of controller.xqm, but that seems to be incorrect.

Thanks,
Greg
