So I did some more experimenting... I managed to get coffeescript and less support to work finally. There may be other parts of OpenBD broken by this though (actually, Id be surprised if this didn't break something...) I am using the current nightly of OpenBD as of 08/06/2013 to do this.
Anyway, for the brave... Im taking the approach of installing wro4j as a filter, and configuring it with a pre-set group called "wro". In my web root, I have a folder called "_wro" - any .coffee or .less files in this folder will get combined, minified, and gzipped into two files - wro.js and wro.css. There are lots of ways to set this up, but this is about as basic as you can get. Anyway, step by step to replicate what I did. 1. Modified web.xml by adding the following: *<filter>* * <filter-name>WebResourceOptimizer</filter-name>* * <filter-class>ro.isdc.wro.http.WroFilter</filter-class>* *</filter>* *<filter-mapping>* * <filter-name>WebResourceOptimizer</filter-name>* * <url-pattern>/wro.css</url-pattern>* * <url-pattern>/wro.js</url-pattern>* *</filter-mapping>* 2. Create a wro.properties file and put it into WEB-INF like so: *debug=true* *disableCache=true* *gzipResources=true* *ignoreMissingResources=true* * managerFactoryClassName=ro.isdc.wro.extensions.manager.ExtensionsConfigurableWroManagerFactory * * preProcessors=coffeeScript,cssUrlRewriting,cssImport,semicolonAppender,lessCss * *postProcessors=cssVariables,cssMinJawr,jsMin* The 1st 3 lines can be modified as needed - see https://code.google.com/p/wro4j/wiki/ConfigurationOptions I just chose to be conservative for testing. 3. Create a wro.xml file and put it into WEB-INF like so: *<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>* *<groups xmlns="http://www.isdc.ro/wro"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.isdc.ro/wro wro.xsd">* * <group name="wro"> * * <js>/_wro/*.coffee</js>* * <css>/_wro/*.less</css>* * </group>* *</groups>* 4. Remove the following jars from WEB-INF/lib (they will be replaced with different versions): *commons-io-1.4.jar* *commons-pool.jar* *sl4j-api-1.6.1.jar* 5. Add the following jars to WEB-INF/lib (the url next to each jar is where to find it - they are generally inside of a zip file for each download): *js.jar* - https://github.com/downloads/mozilla/rhino/rhino1_7R4.zip *commons-pool-1.6.jar*- http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-pool/download_pool.cgi *commons-io-2.4.jar*- http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/download_io.cgi *commons-lang3-3.1.jar*- http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/download_lang.cgi *sl4j-api-1.5.6.jar* - http://www.slf4j.org/dist/ *wro4j-core-1.6.3.jar* - https://code.google.com/p/wro4j/downloads/list *wro4j-extensions-1.6.3.jar*- https://code.google.com/p/wro4j/downloads/list 6. Put a couple of test resource files in /_wro/ test.coffee: *alert "foo"* test.less *@color: #4D926F;* * * *body {* * color: @color;* *}* Add more .less and .coffee files if you want to test combining. 7. Setup an index.cfm in the root of the site to load up the wro resources: *<html>* * <head>* * <title>Web Frameworks Comparison</title>* * <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/wro.css" />* * <script type="text/javascript" src="/wro.js"></script>* * </head>* * <body>* * test* * </body>* *</html>* At this point if you run openbd and hit /index.cfm you should see an alert message and the word test in green.
