[rabbitmq-discuss] rabbitmq-mochiweb

[Paul Jones]

Hi Benjamin,

In the production mode, mochiweb doesn't really have a docroot setup.
/rabbitmq_lib will serve the files in priv/www, but that is as far as it
goes.

However... if you want to serve some other files then you could always use
code similar to what the test mode does to make it happen. For example, if
you were to add:

Handler = rabbit_mochiweb:static_context_handler("", ?MODULE,
"priv/mydocroot"),
ok = rabbit_mochiweb:register_global_handler(Handler),

after the line:
rabbit_mochiweb:register_static_context(ContextRoot, ?MODULE, "priv/www")

in src/rabbit_jsonrpc_channel_app.erl, then once you've installed the plugin
into Rabbit, any file put into
priv/plugins/rabbitmq-jsonrpc-channel/priv/mydocroot should be served from
the root context of mochiweb.

BTW, I've just noticed a bug in the packaging of the jsonrpc-channel plugin
such that if you do run that plugin by installing it via a .ez, you'll need
to copy the priv/www directory into
priv/plugins/rabbitmq-jsonrpc-channel/priv/www (otherwise libraries such as
rabbitmq.js won't be available).

Thanks,
Paul.
