Advanced JSF 2 ResourceHandler ------------------------------ Key: MFCOMMONS-29 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MFCOMMONS-29 Project: MyFaces Commons Issue Type: New Feature Affects Versions: 1.0.2-SNAPSHOT Reporter: Jakob Korherr Assignee: Jakob Korherr
The features of this ResourceHandler include the following: - relative paths between resources (css files referencing images without using #resource['..']) - caching resources in the client (disabled if ProjectStage == Development) - GZIP compression and local cache in tmp dir (disabled if ProjectStage == Development) - i18n (supporting country code and language). In addition, it does NOT support ValueExpressions in resource files for performance reasons. The most important feature, in my opinion, is how the resource URL is built, e.g. /faces/javax.faces.resource/de_AT/$/some/library/$/my/resource.css ... because it permits resources referencing other resources without #{resource['...']} (e.g. css files referencing images or other css files). With the standard ResourceHandler this is 1) annoying if you have to change the files you get from your designer and 2) a performance bottleneck, because resources with ValueExpressions are not cached and also regenerated for each request. Furthermore, the resource URL contains the locale and thus you have no problems with cached resources if a users changes the locale, because he/she will get a new URL and thus a new resource (the right one). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
