Fallbackid

[Austin Coose]

And another question,

How exactly do I used the "fallbackid"?

I tried to use the <site fallbackid=".."> ...

But all stylesheets and scripts associated with my application  
disappeared, but when I looked at the source in the browser, it  
displayed the correct (or at least the same) webapp root url. I did  
not even try to tackle this too much, as nothing stood out as a  
problem,  and when I took it away everything was fine again.  I did  
not google search or search the groups, I apologize if I am asking a  
repeat question.

Thanks again for any help,

Austin

Hi again Austin,

the purpose of fallbackid is to execute an element when no URL  
matches in the scope of the site. Of course, if you put this on the  
root site, everything that's not an element will cause the fallback  
element to be execute. Without a fallbackid, RIFE's servlet filter  
basically defers the execution to the next filter in the chain, which  
is usually you're servlet container's default filter ... that serves  
files like stylesheets, scripts, images, ...

Now, there's a way around this by using the  
com.uwyn.rife.engine.elements.Defer element (rife/defer.xml if you  
prefer). If you declare elements in your site for all the paths that  
have content, you create elements that will not be caught by  
fallbackid, but still defer the execution to the servlet container.

For instance:

<element id="DeferImages" file="rife/defer.xml" url="/images/*"/>

or

<element id="DeferImages"  
implementation="com.uwyn.rife.engine.elements.Defer" url="/images/*"/>

HTH,

Geert

Geert,

Again, thanks, makes sense, and now I can have a fallback that is  
working.
