Malcolm Edgar commented on CLK-501:
-----------------------------------
I have this feeling, that what I am advocating is something you proposed
earlier.
I haven't thought through the integration. Off the top of my head I would
imagine, controls would have the same methods:
List<Element> getHeadElements()
List<Element> getJsElements()
The ClickServlet processes the page controls calling their onRender() methods.
The Container controls then iterate through their children doing the same. At
this point it is up to the individual control to add its Elements (Head, JS) to
the parent Page's corresponding HeadElements or JsElements.
These page elements would automatically be added to the Velocity context / JSP
request attributes before rendering.
We could introduce some sort of adaptor mechanism to support depreciated
getHtmlImports() methods.

> Key: CLK-501
> URL: http://issues.apache.org/click/browse/CLK-501
> Project: Click
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: core
> Reporter: Bob Schellink
> Assignee: Bob Schellink
> Fix For: 2.1.0
>
>
> Currently Click supports HTML imports by overriding the method
> #getHtmlImports.
> This method is string based which makes it difficult to support advanced
> features such as templating, conditional imports, resource versioning etc.
> This feature request proposes to introduce first class HTML header resource
> classes including Javascript, JavascriptImport, CssImport and Css.
> Further a new method should be added to the Control interface: 'public List
> getHtmlHeaders' which returns a list of the Page or Control's HTML HEAD
> entries.
> This makes it possible to modify the Javascript and CSS imports without
> overriding a Control.
