Programming__WebObjects-Web Applications-Development-Custom Resource Manager

Petite Abeille

Here is a little example on how to write your own WOResourceManager:

The main methods to implement are urlForResourceNamed() and bytesForResourceNamed().

• urlForResourceNamed simply build an URL for a resource from wherever you would like (eg a jar file). Unfortunately, urlForResourceNamed uses pathForResourceNamed so you will need to rewrite that also:

• bytesForResourceNamedsimplyretrievearesourcefromwhereveryouwouldlike(egajarfile):

• Last but not least, you need to take care of those funky WOURLValuedElementData so dataForResourceNamed will work:

• Finally, you need to register your resource manager with WOApplication:

Handling of languages and frameworks are left as an exercise to the reader.
