The issue would be that MyFaces is creating an HtmlResponseWriter even though it's not HTML. Hard to blame it, though. The general intent here is for XML-type languages.
In this scenario, I'd probably recommend that Facelets specifically intercept text/css and text/plain to create an internal PlainTextResponseWriter, one that throws exceptions on calls to startElement(), for example, but passes writeText() straight to write(). -- Adam On 6/29/07, Safurudin Mahic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I'm trying to get facelets to render my css files (especially neet to get the url(#{facesContext.ex Reccomended by some of the guys on the facelets mailing list, I first tried to do <f:view contentType="text/css">...</f:view> This went badly, because the html renderer kit for myfaces doesn't support this contentType. It only support a small set of content types defined; private static String HTML_CONTENT_TYPE = "text/html"; private static String TEXT_ANY_CONTENT_TYPE = "text/*"; private static String ANY_CONTENT_TYPE = "*/*"; private static String APPLICATION_XML_CONTENT_TYPE = "application/xml"; private static String TEXT_XML_CONTENT_TYPE = "text/xml"; private static String XHTML_CONTENT_TYPE = "application/xhtml+xml"; Tried then to use the */* - this went OK - the problem now however is that either facelets or myfaces escapes special characters in the css files: The following perfecly valid css selector: h2 { font-family: Arial, "Arial CE", "Lucida Grande CE", lucida, "Helvetica CE", sans-serif; } is escaped with h2 { font-family: Arial, "Arial CE", "Lucida Grande CE", lucida, "Helvetica CE", sans-serif; } rendering the generated css as invalid Is there a way to turn off html entity character escaping for a particular view?
