                 Key: TRINIDAD-1687
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1687
             Project: MyFaces Trinidad
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Skinning
            Reporter: Jeanne Waldman
            Assignee: Jeanne Waldman


We've had several requests where someone wants to reload the skin on demand but 
without needing the web.xml's CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION flag on. On instance is 
the design time team who wants to muck with skins and reload them on demand.

The proposed public API is on the Skin object. It is:
  /**
   * Check to see if this Skin has been marked dirty. 
   * The only way to mark a Skin dirty is to call setDirty(true).
   * @return true if the Skin is marked dirty. 
   */
  abstract public boolean isDirty();

  /**
   * Sets the dirty flag of the Skin. Use this if you want to regenerate the 
skin. 
   * During rendering, if isDirty is true, 
   * the skin's css file will be reprocessed regardless of whether the css file 
has been modified 
   * or if the CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION flag was set. 
   * The Skinning Framework calls setDirty(false) after the skin has been 
reprocessed.
   */
  abstract public void setDirty(boolean dirty);

A patch will be available soon.
