Can I use EL for external CSS files with JSF?

Question

In external style sheets of my current JSF project, there are hard-coded links to external resources like

.someId { background-image:url(/context/resources/i         


        

Answer 1

I put the CSS images always in a subfolder of the CSS folder. E.g.

• /resources/css/style.css
• /resources/css/images/example.jpg

This way you just end up like

.someId { background-image:url(images/example.jpg); }

Yes, they are resolved relative to the URL of the CSS file itself, not to the main JSF/HTML page.
