    Resolution: Won't Fix

I'd like to close this issue because of the following reasons:
a) Even with this servlet support, it still requires additional configuration 
in a portlet web application to use portlets which needs javascript downloading.
b) This kind of servlet is too generic for apa-gems; I don't think apa-gems is 
a proper location.
c) Somebody could make use of org.springframework.js.resource.ResourceServlet 
for the same reason.

By the way, a portlet could be able to generate and serve resource urls for 
javascript by itself. (e.g. IFrameGenericPortlet generating the resizing js url 
with resource portlet url if portlet 2.0 is available.)

> Resource download servlet for static javascript resource files from within a 
> JAR file.

> A portlet can depend on javascript resource files to contribute header 
> elements or its own custom use.
> If a portlet is used as an out-of-box component packaged in a jar, it is 
> sometimes difficult for end-users to copy and configure the javascript 
> resource file paths in portlet.xml or web.xml. If the out-of-box component 
> package is integrated by maven dependency, it would be worse because the 
> additional javascript resource files must be manually copied from somewhere 
> by the developer.
> So, if a portlet package jar file contains the javascript resource files and 
> has a minimized guideline to configure a specific servlet to serve the 
> javascript resource files from its own jar file, then it would reduce the 
> pains.
