Re: Serve static files with WAKom (was: Bespin integration)

Hi,

finally I've managed to serve static files without using an external web server. Indeed I want to have a standalone application that's why I don't want to use an external web server.

Here's how I did, It looks hacky so I'm looking for better code. It was taken from http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/GettingSoftware/index.html with little modifications to make it works.

Object subclass: #SeaslidesServer

....

SeaslidesServer class

instanceVariableNames: 'adaptor'

SeaslidesServer class>>startSeaslides

| ma seaside |

"Kill all existing Kom HTTP servers"

HttpService allInstancesDo: [:each | each stop. each unregister].

adaptor := (WAKom startOn: 8080).

ma := ModuleAssembly core.

ma serverRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'Bespin') fullName.

ma alias: '/seaslides' to: [ma addPlug: [:request | self processHttpRequest: request]].

ma alias: '/files' to: [ma addPlug: [:request | self processHttpRequest: request]].

ma documentRoot: (FileDirectory default directoryNamed: 'Bespin') fullName.

ma directoryIndex: 'index.html index.htm'.

ma serveFiles.

adaptor service plug: ma rootModule.

SeaslidesServer class>>processHttpRequest: aRequest

^ self adaptor process: aRequest

The directory Bespin is at the same level at the Seaside image. So I can access http://localhost:8080/BespinEmbedded.js and all other ressources.

http://localhost:8080/seaslides is my application. http://localhost:8080/files is needed for Seaside libraires.

Cheers,

Laurent Laffont

The easiest is probably to create a file handler named 'resources' and
override #name in your file library to answer 'screen_theme'.
