Ryan's first entry in the series has a large section on packaging which has
great detail on pretty much everything you would need to know about how to
put the resource (image, javascript, css) in a jar, and even version it. It
says:
The default implementation will look for resources in two locations
and in the following order:
1. */resources* this location represents resources in the webapp itself
and if present, must be in the root of the web application
2. */META-INF/resources* this location represents resources on the
classpath
Then, in my blog (yes it's mine and I was surprised to see you link to it :)
it says:
In order to redistribute those components, you simply add them to a jar
under META-INF/resources, and then make sure that your META-INF directory
also contains a faces-config.xml file.
So, if you put your resources in META-INF/resources you should be able to
reference them. Optionally, and I would highly recommend it, you can put
them within a library, which is simply another directory under
META-INF/resources, something like META-INF/resources/images and then
"images" is your library. I believe it will only look in jars that contain
a faces-config.xml file, so make sure you have one of those in your jar
within the META-INF directory. The faces-config.xml file doesn't need to
contain anything other than what is shown in my blog. Then you should be
able to include the jar as a library within your web project and references
the resources.
