add public api to turn styleclass compression off for debugging
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: ADFFACES-431
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ADFFACES-431
Project: MyFaces ADF-Faces
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Skinning
Affects Versions: 1.0.1-incubating-core-SNAPSHOT
Reporter: Jeanne Waldman
Priority: Minor
People need to be able to debug skins. They can do this using Firebug, but our
styleclasses are compressed by default, so it is hard to figure out which skin
key they map to. When we wrote out both compressed and uncompressed
styleclasses to the generated stylesheet it was easier, but now we only render
the compressed styleclasses, so it is hard.
This is a question from a user that illustrates this problem:
Is there a way to reverse map the generated CSS (or maybe generate the
>> CSS files with better names). For example, I have the following css on
>> an html element and am trying to track down where each of these is
>> defined.
Not being a CSS expert it would be nice to be able even in a debug mode
>> to generate the CSS elements with more descriptive names so I can
>> quickly see what I need to change.
>>
>> .xr, .xu, .x4j {MyCSS-des... (line 25)
>> color:#000000;
>> font-family:Browallia New,Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,sans-serif;
>> font-size:10pt;
>> font-weight:normal;
>> padding:0px 8px 0px 0px;
>> text-align:left;
The way to disable the styleclass compression currently is by doing this in
your web.xml file:
<context-param>
<param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.DISABLE_CONTENT_COMPRESSION</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>
I consider this a 'private' api and I don't like to suggest it to end users,
but I have to because there is no other way.
I think that a public api to do this when trinidad-config.xml's
<debug-output>true</debug-output> is set would be great.
We'll have to discuss whether or not this is a good idea or if there is a
better idea.
