External resources not read PD4ML v4 tag library

#38454

I have the following structure:

/WEB-INF/views/templates/report_template.jsp
/styles/report_style.css
/images/report_img01.png
/images/report_img02.png
/images/report_img03.png

Neither relative file paths (../../../styles/report_style.css) nor absolute application paths
(<link href=”<c:url value=’/styles/report_style.css’/>” type=”text/css”>) work.

The only way to get styles is to embed the styles in the JSP page. I suspect base-64 encoding of the images will be required as well.

Using <c:url value=”/absolute_path”/> worked in PD4ML v3.

Is there any work-aronud?

#38456

Fixed.

We use <display-name>apName version</display-name> in our web.xml (generated by Maven and a resource filter). Apparently PD4ML v4 has changed context resolution to use ServletContext.getServletContextName(). Since there is no apName%20version running (only apName), this breaks getting external resources.

This will make management a bit more difficult, but not impossible.

I haven’t checked the release notes anywhere, but was this mentioned somewhere?
