Yes, it is possible. You can easily write a template processor that
simply spits out the contents of a resource:
public class HTMLViewProcessor implements ViewProcessor<URL> {
public URL resolve(String path) {
Classloader c = .... // use thread context class loader
// Perhaps check if path is an HTML file
return c.getResource(path);
// Or if you want things picked up from the Web area inject
ServletContext
// ServletContext sc = ...
// return sc.getResource(path); // catch MalformedURLException
}
public void writeTo(URL resource, Viewable viewable, OutputStream
out) throws IOException {
ReaderWriter.writeTo(resource.openStream(), out);
}
}
This has the advantage that it will also work with templates located
according to the rules of Jersey MVC.
Note that ViewProcessor was introduced as the replacement for
TemplateProcessor in Jersey 1.1.5.
I think i will change Viewable such that you can do:
public Viewable getHomePage() {
return new Viewable("/home.html");
}
However, as Jan says you can also place stuff directly to be served by
the servlet container if you so wish.
