Re: How to reuse the Jahia web site CSS from a webapp deployed into it...

Hi Patrick,

If this is an application that is embedded in a Jahia page, you should 
just not include any styles in your web application and that will reuse 
the CSS styles of the page.

Now if this is an application that is displayed outside of a Jahia page, 
this is a problem if you are using a dynamic CSS like web_css.jsp. 
web_css.jsp ASSUMES that objects were put on the context by the Jahia 
servlet. So you cannot call it directly. Basically the flow for most 
JSPs used in Jahia is :

Browser -> Jahia servlet builds objects and puts them in 
request.setAttribute() -> dispatch to JSP that reads from 
request.getAttribute()

If the web_css.jsp is anything like the default one, it *requires* 
passing through the Jahia servlet.

Regards,
  Serge Huber.
