Hi I am almost done with my changes however I wanted to clarify some things:
the jsf.push part, Leo wants do do that, right? If not then give me
notice, it shouldn´t be to hard, the api seems rather straight forward.
Secondly I noticed in the spec a special section and dug around in the
mailing lists without coming to a decisive conclusion here:
If an update element is found in the response with the identifier
javax.faces.Resource:
<update id="javax.faces.Resource">
<![CDATA[...]]>
</update>
append any element found in the CDATA contents which is absent in the
document to the document's head section.
Now up until now the behavior on our side was, that if just a resource
element is coming in, it simply was appended.
The question here is more along the lines, that who is performing the
checks on those elements.
The best bet here is probably to diff on the server for the resource
appendix, where all the meta info is available, because from a client
point of view
this is just a big, character blob, which then would have to be pushed
into a shadow dom element for browser interepretation.
And from that point forward I do not have a 100% precise detection
anymore whether a resource is new in the form( some refs might be the
same but thats mostly what I have, with embedded CSS or javascript there
is no way to detect for equality on my level anymore there always will
be some case where it can fail)
