pack:tag: Compressing JSP Taglib
Category: Java
, JavaScript, Library
pack:tag is a static-resource compressing JSP-Taglib. It caches ad hoc compressed JavaScript or CSS in memory (in a Java Servlet) or in a generated file. It works transparently to the developer and the compressing-algorithms are pluggable.
Features
- Minification of JavaScript and Cascading Style Sheets
- Caching to filesystem or memory (servlet)
- When caching to memory, the minified content is additional gzipped
- Apache Standard Taglib support for evaluations
- Compression and hashcode-generation adjustable on single resources
Examples
You would use JSP tags such as the following in your JSP files:
HTML:
-
-
<pack :script src="myJavaScriptFile.js"/>
-
<pack :style src="myCascadingStyleSheet.css"/>
-
<pack :script src="myJavaScriptFile.js" enabled="false"/>
-

I have tried to implement this in our project,But itz not loading the scripts.Im able to see the script tag generated in JSP(viewsource->h982….js).Any body have any idea,Where this packer will store js files which have been compressed.Do i need to do any thing else to make it work.
Thanks in advance.
