Overriding static resources

Overview

Allows easy customization of images, stylesheets and other static content.

All files that belong to the Verba Web Application are stored in the following folder:

<VERBA_APP_PATH>\tomcat\webapps\verba

When the Verba Web Application Service starts all files and folders in the following location are copied into the above web application path:

<VERBA_APP_PATH>\resources\webapp\copy

This startup procedure means that any customizations added to the resources\webapp\copy folder are becoming part of the web application at start time. This will work for both files that are part of the standard web application (overwrites) and also for new files.

Mainly the following folders contain stylesheets and images in the web application:

<VERBA_APP_PATH>\tomcat\webapps\verba\styles
<VERBA_APP_PATH>\tomcat\webapps\verba\images

It is highly recommended to make a full backup of the entire web application folder, before applying any change to the system, because files will be overwritten. It is not recommended to add or override .jsp files, since it might lead to incompatibilities after an upgrade.

Changing the favicon

You can also customize the favicon.ico file of the web application if you place your favicon file like this:

<VERBA_APP_PATH>\resources\webapp\copy-ROOT\favicon.ico
