Scripts in cache and new window with target

[marinew]

Hello,

I am using RichFaces 3.1.2 in a JSF webapp, but I have bad response time, partially due to the 489KBytes scripts downloaded, I think.

So, I changed 2 parameters in web.xml :

<context-param>
 <param-name>org.ajax4jsf.COMPRESS_SCRIPT</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </context-param>

 <filter>
 <display-name>RichFaces Filter</display-name>
 <filter-name>richfaces</filter-name>
 <filter-class>org.ajax4jsf.Filter</filter-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>enable-cache</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </init-param>
 </filter>

Cache of RichFaces scripts seems to work sometime. But when I open a page in a new Firefox tab, using the "target" property on a web link, the new opened tab download all scripts from scratch. It doesn't take care of scripts that have already been downloaded and stored in cache.
As I will use a lot of tabs, with new window name, this is very annoying for me.

Does anybody have an idea whether it is the correct behavior, and how I could change this ?

Thanks in advance.
