Richfaces .js files taking 2 minutes to load

[stevefchambers]

I am sure that I am doing something wrong, but can't figure it out. I am developing on my local workstation and am still getting 2 minute load times for the simplest page. I used Firebug on the network tab and found that it was the http://localhost:8080/myapp/a4j_3_2_1-SNAPSHOTorg/richfaces/* as well as http://localhost:8080/myapp/a4j_3_2_1-SNAPSHOTorg/ajax4jsf* stuff that was taking so long, around 25 seconds a piece.

What am I doing wrong? Everything else on the webapp on this box (tomcat/spring/hibernate) works like a charm. I also noticed that there is no expirations on the files but it still should load so slowly.

Hi,

Do you have loading strategy for scripts/styles defined in web.xml? What is it?

[nbelaevski]

Can you please post screenshot of Firebug somewhere?

[stevefchambers]

I did not add any strategies, so I suppose I am getting the defaults?

try to add

 <context-param>
 <param-name>org.richfaces.LoadStyleStrategy</param-name>
 <param-value>ALL</param-value>
 </context-param>
 <context-param>
 <param-name>org.richfaces.LoadScriptStrategy</param-name>
 <param-value>ALL</param-value>
 </context-param>

to your web.xml

That helped some. It reduced it down to a little over a minute.

I posted the results of the latest firebug net tab.

Is it the framework.pack.js.jsf and the ui.pack.js.jsf that are taking so long to load? I am not sure that I am reading the firebug correctly.

Steve, does it take the same time if you turn the fireBug off?

[stevefchambers]

Yes, it does. I have run it in all types of OS's, with and without firebug, Firefox and IE, everything I can think of. When I made the adjustment, even the files it brings down the first time are fast. It is only these two remaining files.

I figured this one out. It turns out that our homemade gzip compression filter was causing the slow down. When I changed the filter mapping, everything started working. Thanks for the help.

Your compressor set the wrong file size. This is a reason why browser waits so long. Most likely, it happens because of double compressing.

You can try to set a web.xml param org.ajax4jsf.COMPRESS_SCRIPT to false. May you will able to use your compressor after that. If not, check the issue with transferring file size.
