I have been trying to load resources (css, js and image files) using JSF 2.2's contracts in my maven project, but I get nothing but "unable to load" messages.
Here is the file structure:
src/main/webapp/*
src/main/contracts/library-name/css/*
src/main/contracts/library-name/js/*
src/main/contracts/library-name/template.xhtml
src/main/webapp/dev/index.xhtml
In my faces-config.xml I have:
<resource-library-contracts>
<contract-mapping>
<url-pattern>/dev/*</url-pattern>
<contracts>library-name</contracts>
</contract-mapping>
</resource-library-contracts>
In my index.xhtml I have tried the following:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<f:view contracts="library-name">
<ui:composition template="/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<p>text</p>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
</f:view>
</html>
Here is the template file:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head>
<h:outputScript name="js/script.js" />
<h:outputStylesheet name="css/style.css" />
</h:head>
<h:body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<ui:insert name="content"/>
</h:body>
</html>

I wanted to write everything I tried, but that is literally dozens of combinations of code, like using the h:outputScript h:outputStylesheet from within the ui:content definition, using plain HTML with an EL reference, removing the ui:composition and just using one page etc.
I have already tried putting contracts in the src/main/webapp/contracts folder, and had the same problem.
My output of HTML is always correct, but the generated css link tag returns a "RES_NOT_FOUND" error and the script either returns the same or doesn't show up at all. I am trying to load a CSS/JS framework, so I really need a solution that treats all of these (literally thousands) of assets modularly. I haven't been able to find anything that works online, probably because contracts are fairly new, but what could be the problem? Do I have to use a .jsf url mapping for my pages? Is there anyway to load these resources from a JAR file in a way similar to how primefaces is loaded? Would it make more sense just to upload the assets on the server and use a direct html link, since they are all front-end assets anyway?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
