Spring Faces Javascript

Question

Hi. I want to ask where do i put my external javascript files and how to access them in the page. I have a problem with getting the relative path for my javascript files.

Answer 1

You put them wherever you want (only not inside WEB-INF or META-INF).

You should reference them either by a relative path, i.e. no slash in the beginning:

<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/my.js"></script>

or you can use an absolute location getting it from the faces context:

<script src="#{facesContext.externalContext.context.contextPath}/scripts/my.js" 
     type="text/javascript"></script>
