Two methods exists two provide access to static files:

  • Specifying the docroot location (= folder containing the static files) as a command line argument. See the Wt: Library overview for more information. This approach is mostly used for images, css files, ...
  • Using a Wt::WResource (or f.ex. the specialised Wt::WFileResource). Advantage of this approach is that you could limit the access to those (static) resources to specific users only. This approach could also be used to download on the fly generated resources.
