What I don't want, is to end up with more than one style sheet include on my html pages which leads to long page load times.
Furthermore, I want this to work dynamically in my test environment, but statically in my live environment. That is to say, when I'm testing in Jetty, I want the global style sheet to be regenerated each time one of the modular style sheets changes, but when I'm on the live site, I only want the global style sheet generated once, and persisted to disk.
And while we're at it, I want this to work with JavaScript includes as well, and everything needs to be minimized.
It seems that this is a bit unreasonable as I couldn't find any tag libs out there that did this. For anyone who thinks this might be useful, here's what it ended up looking like in the jsp,
Stylesheets
<c:set var="location"> <wa:compressor files="/stylesheets/style.css,/stylesheets/tagcloud.css,etc..." outputDir="/stylesheetsGlobal/" regenerate="${true}" /> </c:set> <link rel="stylesheet" href="${location}" type="text/css" />
JavaScript
<c:set var="location"> <wa:compressor files="/javascript/jquery.js,/javascript/main.js,etc..." outputDir="/javascriptGlobal/" regenerate="${true}" /> </c:set> <script src="${location}"></script>
The jar file for this can be downloaded here: http://www.warrenprojects.com/files/wonderant-tags-1-dist.zip
