Hello, Has anyone successfully configured Cocoon to do on-the-fly minification of js and/or CSS? There are good java-based minifiers out there, such as Dojo ShrinkSafe and YUI Compressor. http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/compressor/ http://dojotoolkit.org/docs/shrinksafe
Both use Rhino, which Cocoon ships with, I believe. The YUI compressor page says, "If you wish to minify your files on the backend (also known as on-the-fly minification) instead of at build time, you will want to cache the minified files in memory for optimal performance (instead of minifying the same files over and over & minification is a time consuming process) Note that the YUI Compressor can easily be instantiated and used from a Java-based environment (Servlet)." This page: http://wnas.nl/how-to-redevelop-a-large-website talks about a guy who "used cocoon and the yui compressor to concatenate and minify the js and css files, something that greatly reduced the number of http requests. It also gave us the freedom to write well documented code and sep[a]rate the code into a large number of small files." Those are some great benefits... but how to integrate YUI compressor into Cocoon? Do I need to write a custom generator? And how to provide caching? Thanks for any ideas, Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
