Hello. This is my favorite issue.
Currently I use a small hack in order to generate stylesheet from velocity
template.
Example: http://212.25.31.150/shop2/style.css
First I tell the ClickServlet to trigger for special extensions in the
deployment descriptor. (web.xml).
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpringClickServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/robots.txt</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/style.css</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Small modification of performRender method in the ClickServlet is necessary.
It is not perfect solution because it prevents using jsp pages. (IMHO jsp is a
nightmare)
/**
* Performs rendering of the specified page.
*
* @param page page to render
* @param context the request context
* @throws java.lang.Exception if error occurs
*/
protected void performRender(Page page, Context context) throws Exception {
final HttpServletRequest request = context.getRequest();
final HttpServletResponse response = context.getResponse();
if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(page.getRedirect())) {
String url = page.getRedirect();
url = response.encodeRedirectURL(url);
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
logger.debug(" redirect: " + url);
} else if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("redirect: " + url);
}
response.sendRedirect(url);
} else if (StringUtils.isNotBlank(page.getForward())) {
// Indicates the request is forwarded
request.setAttribute(CLICK_FORWARD, CLICK_FORWARD);
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
logger.debug(" forward: " + page.getForward());
} else if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("forward: " + page.getForward());
}
if (page.getForward().endsWith(".jsp")) {
renderJSP(page);
} else {
RequestDispatcher dispatcher =
request.getRequestDispatcher(page.getForward());
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
}
} else if (page.getPath() != null) {
// MODIFICATION JGA ---------------------
/*
String pagePath = page.getPath();
// Check if request is a JSP page
if (pagePath.endsWith(".jsp") || configService.isJspPage(pagePath))
{
// CLK-141. Set pagePath as the forward value.
page.setForward(StringUtils.replace(pagePath, ".htm", ".jsp"));
// Indicates the request is forwarded
request.setAttribute(CLICK_FORWARD, CLICK_FORWARD);
renderJSP(page);
} else {
renderTemplate(page);
}
*/
renderTemplate(page);
// MODIFICATION JGA ---------------------
} else {
if (logger.isTraceEnabled()) {
logger.debug(" path not defined for " +
page.getClass().getName());
} else if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("path not defined for " +
page.getClass().getName());
}
}
}
