Hi Wolfgang,

I guess you could register the fanstatic libraries as
resourceDirectories and have the injector generate URLs to them. You
would still use zope to serve static resources in that case, which
would mean missing one of the main selling points of fanstatic:
offloading of static content. You would also miss out on the bundling
feature and long-term caching and invalidation.

If I were you I'd rewrite the application to zope.app.wsgi.

Cheers,
