Question

I’m developing a new webapp based on the orbeon samples. I’m using orbeon 3.9 CE. I got VERY ERRATIC behavior when I use custom ressources. They are placed in following folders :

/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/config/theme/*.css
/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/config/theme/*.js
/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/config/theme/images/*.jpg

In my custom theme file (/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/config/theme-xnotes.xsl), they are linked like this (a few examples) :

<xhtml:link rel="stylesheet" href="/config/theme/bootstrap.css" type="text/css" media="all"/>
<xhtml:script src="/config/theme/bootstrap.js"/>
<xhtml:link rel="icon" href="/config/theme/images/icone_grue.png" type="image/png"/>

When I point my browser at the application (http://localhost:8080/orbeon), it SOMETIMES work, SOMETIMES doesn’t (css are ignored, page transitions are wrong) and SOMETIMES it works partially (css are ok, js not, a few images are ok, others are not and so on)

When I look at the page source code, the links seems to be ok, to take the sames examples as above :

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/orbeon/config/theme/bootstrap.css" type="text/css" media="all">
<script src="/orbeon/config/theme/bootstrap.js">
<link rel="icon" href="/orbeon/config/theme/images/icone_grue.png" type="image/png">

But some links are not valid and point to the root of the application. The main problem is that I just can’t make this behavior consistent to isolate the issue(s).

Help really appreciated ! It’s driving me crazy…

Answer 1

I don’t think there can be more than one GET or POST per request, but per open connection certainly.

However, this might be related to authentication since you mention j_security_check. Can you try to make sure that the CSS and other resources are not protected by form authentication?
