<p>
Assets are resource files (such as images, sounds, videos, CSS stylesheets, javascripts, etc.) that belong to specific component classes. Assets are meant to be provided to Web users. For better reusability and easier deployment of the corresponding component classes, assets should reside together with the component class files . For example, a toggle button may use two images, stored in file <tt>down.gif</tt> and <tt>up.gif</tt>, to show different toggle states. If we require the image files be stored under <tt>images</tt> directory under the Web server document root, it would be inconvenient for the users of the toggle button component, because each time they develop or deploy a new application, they would have to manually copy the image files to that specific directory. To eliminate this requirement, a directory relative to the component class file should be used for storing the image files. A common strategy is to use the directory containing the component class file to store the asset files.

The asset concept is mainly used to help better reuse and redistribute component classes. Normally, you should not use asset publishing for resources that are not bound to any component in an application. For example, you should not use asset publishing for images that are mainly used as design elements (e.g. logos, background images, etc.) Let Web server to directly serve these images will help improve the performance of your application.

We now use the toggle button example to explain the usage of assets. The control uses two image files <tt>up.gif</tt> and <tt>down.gif</tt>, which are stored under the directory containing the control class file. When the button is in <tt>Up</tt> state, we would like to show the <tt>up.gif</tt> image. This can be done as follows,
