Confused over the use of WAExternalFileLibrary...
 
|
Ok.. I've gotten past my initial hurdles with Boris' help but none of
my css files or images are getting pulled in due to the deprecated API that I was using w/ Seaside 2.6 (besides the move from Webtoolkit to Opentalk).. Anyway, in perusing the old mail messages from the list, it appears that WAExternalFileLibrary may be the solution I'm looking for but I'm stuck with trying to get it to work. I've created a "Files" entry point as indicated and named it "include". Now, I've changed one of my image references to point to /seaside/ files/image.jpg but its never found.. The docs are very terse on the usage.. Am I missing something? Where does the directory lie in the filesystem for VW? I've tried the top-level VW directory along with the 'image' subdirectory... Also, if I want to have one directory w/ css and another with images how is that done? Thanks! -- Rick _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

Hi Rick,
although the files reside in the /files directory (i.e. /files/myFile.jpg), the proper URL in Seaside is files/external/myFile.jpg. (This may IMHO be a bit confusing...)

This is really odd to me.. I finally got it working. In my case, I
used the name "include" in the dispatch editor for Seaside (where the configuration of the WAExternalFileLibrary lives) and my links needed to be named "include/external/foo.jpg" but the files live in the VW image directory as "vw7.6/image/files/foo.jpg".. It also does not appear to handle subdirectories from what I've seen.. I guess I'll have to spend some time looking into Apache again since this isn't doing what I was hoping.. Oh well.. -- Rick On Jun 13, 2008, at 2:21 PM, Magnus Schwarz wrote: > Hi Rick, > > although the files reside in the /files directory (i.e. /files/ > myFile.jpg), the proper URL in Seaside is files/external/myFile.jpg. > (This may IMHO be a bit confusing...) > > Regards, > Magnus > > [hidden email] schrieb: >> >> 1.

Ok.. In thinking about the big picture here and trying to
help perspective future users of this class.. I'm wondering IF I were to alter the existing WAExternalFileLibrary to be more flexible (add support for subdirectories + more obvious config features), would that annoy other users of this class? I'm not sure how many people are actually using it for anything -- comments? At a minimum I'll certainly document the current behavior including where the 'files' directory lives within the VW tree which was half the problem for me to guess. -- Rick On Sun, June 15, 2008 8:07 pm, Richard E.

Sure, submit it as a patch for Cincom to review. I imagine subdirectories should be part of basic functionality for file serving. _______________________________________________ seaside mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/seaside |

In the development branch of Seaside 2.9 there is an official package classed Seaside-FileSystem that serves external files. It has a configuration interface like a normal Seaside applications, allows one to enable/disable file-listing for directories and to specify the base-path on your local harddisk. It severs also sub-directories of the specified base-path.

That's a random stretch, if you're using Opentalk-HTTP then it's not going to be particularly inefficient and it's a wild call to assume that Komanche and Swazoo would be slow without trying it out.

Swazoo is definitely not inefficient serving static content anymore, on VW is now only 4x slower than Apache, achieving 36MBytes/s, which is about 300Mbits/s, that is 3 times saturation of 100M ethernet: http://www.swazoo.org/benchmarks/swazoo-vs-apache.html How much is Opentalk-HTTP able to achieve?

But what I didn't ask is that I'm wondering if I can set / to be "files", but "/seaside" and below to still dispatch to seaside as before. *That* would rock. In other words, can I have specific exceptions to a general path that maps to a file handler? -- Randal L.
