Background
Last time I had some work to do in OSGi web module written in Spring MVC. If we have application splitted to well-designed modules, back-end development in this framework run in OSGi environment is quite fast because after some modification we must update only one bundle (without dependencies). But programming in front-end is much less dynamic than in in modern frameworks like Ruby or Groovy. There is no build-in support to update resources "on the fly" after their modification (or I can't find it).There is many plugins to web browser which help you build front-end from scratch in wysiwyg mode. But I can't find any which could modify resources of already ran application. Also it will be complicated to keep synchronized these modifications with our sources. Therefore I tried to use local links to my project in my application. I put code similar to this below in my page.
After redeploy I found in my Chromium console: Error::Not allowed to load local resource: file:///path/to/my/local/resource.js. After some googling I found solution: adding --allow-file-access-from-files switch to application. Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Chromium v.18. I also checked other switches: --disable-web-security and --allow-file-access but with no effect. I also tried LocalLinks plugin but with the same result.
Solution
I found out that the simplest walkaround to this problem is to link my local resources directory in Apache2 web root. So i did this:After this inclusion of script looks like:
As you can see, it is only difference in port in new location of script. So maybe there is a tool which helps in automatic replace this string?
