022/**
023 * Used as part of the support for classpath {@link org.apache.tapestry5.Asset}s, to convert the Asset's
024 * {@link org.apache.tapestry5.commons.Resource} to a URL that can be accessed by the client. The asset path, within the
025 * classpath, is converted into a shorter virtual path. The term "alias" here is generally referred to as
026 * "virtual folder" elsewhere.
027 *
028 * Service configuration is a map from folder aliases (short names) to complete paths. Names should not start or end end
029 * with a slash. Generally, an alias should be a single name (not contain a slash). Paths should also not start or end
030 * with a slash. An example mapping would be <code>mylib</code> to <code>com/example/mylib</code>.
031 *
032 * As originally envisioned, this service would simply <em>optimize</em> classpath assets, allowing the URL path for
033 * such assets to be shortened (and have a version number added, important for caching); thus the word "alias" makes
034 * sense ... it was responsible for creating an "alias" URL shorter than the default "classpath" URL.
035 *
036 * Starting in Tapestry 5.2, this changed; all classpath assets <strong>must</strong> be "aliased" to a shorter URL
037 * path. Any URL that can not be shortened is now rejected. This simplifies creating new libraries, but also helps with
038 * security concerns, as it limits which portions of the classpath can <em>ever</em> be exposed to the user agent.
039 *
040 * Tapestry automatically contributes a number of mappings: for the application root package itself (as alias "app") and
041 * for each library (via {@link ComponentClassResolver#getFolderToPackageMapping()});
042 *
043 * @deprecated Deprecated in 5.4, with no replacement. This will no longer be used in Tapestry 5.5, as all classpath assets
044 *             will need to be under the {@code META-INF/assets} folder (but may be maintained for compatibility reasons until 5.6).
