My Grails project structure:
my-app/
grails-app/
<mostly typical grails-app structure>
views/
web/
index.gsp
app/
admin/
layouts/
main.gsp
<rest of project structure is like any other Grails app>
So you can see whereas, normally, the index page is located at grails-app/views/index.gsp, I have it at grails-app/views/web/index.gsp.
My application.properties:
app.grails.version=2.4.2
app.name=my-app
app.context=/
app.version=0.1
One section of my UrlMappings.groovy:
"/"(view:"/web/index")
My main.gsp layout:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title><g:layoutTitle default="MyApp"/></title>
<g:resource dir="css" file="myapp.css" />
<g:layoutHead/>
</head>
<body>
<g:layoutBody/>
<g:resource dir="js" file="myapp.js" />
</body>
</html>
My index.gsp:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="layout" content="main"/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
</body>
</html>
When the app starts up and I view it in a browser, it is obvious that myapp.css is not being found because the page styling is all wrong. When I view page source I see:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>MyApp</title>
/css/myapp.css
<meta name="layout" content="main"/>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello!</h1>
/js/myapp.js
</body>
</html>
So it sounds like Grails takes your app.context and uses that as the prefix for all resources. And because I haven't wired something correctly, Grails is just translating my <g:resource> tags into plaintext and printing them out in the HTML.
I guess my question is: What do I need to do so that Grails can find my CSS/JS resources?
I don't sure that tag into tag will be work correctly, so write like this:
