Werner Punz commented on TOMAHAWK-155: -------------------------------------- The Extensionsfilter is just a web frontend trigger for loading resources. The extensionsfilter is way too problematic for the end users because it enforces another entry in the web.xml. (90% of all resource loading problems revolve around exactly this issue) I personally would prefer a phase listener based approach, which is way less problematic, because it is more or less a snap in with its own configuration. John Fallows pointed me out towards a project he and some other guys are doing, the so called weblet api, which is a generic resource bundeling and loading mechanism with utility and helper mechanisms for most frameworks. On the JSF side he uses a phase listener and a view handler (the view handler can be replaced with a utlity class, it is only there to keep the api as close to jsf as possible, but in fact it is only a utility class) In the long run we should talk to the other framework makers maybe we can find a common resource bundeling and loading ground, then adding something like dojo to the codebase, could become a maven download instead of having our own resource hierarchy. > Move ExtensionsFilter to commons so it can be reused outside Tomahawk > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TOMAHAWK-155 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-155 > Project: MyFaces Tomahawk > Type: Wish > Reporter: Laurie Harper > Priority: Minor > > The ExtensionsFilter would be useful across projects.
