Plugin with CSS using url()

[Matthew Taylor]

I understand how to use the pluginContextPath.  But what about a plugin CSS file that needs to reference an image within the plugin's /web-app/images directory?  I can't use the pluginContextPath within CSS, of course.

Anyone have a slick way to do this?

Get the plugin to generate the CSS file from a controller or GSP?

Cheers

I should just be able to use a relative path from the CSS file to get to the image.  Something like '../images/image.png' works.

i'm thinking about 2 approaches:

1. use a Servlet Filter to transform and cache the css
   
2. a CSS controller that map to the /css path, and read, transform and cache the css file
   

in the css, the url is defined as relative path, and either one of the above will "correct" the path. sounds useful. The resource filter/controller could do other magic like validate, compress the files. i actually did sth similar before to merge js files.
