Plug-n-Skin : externalizing gradient from .xcss to .properti

[gonzalad]

Hello,

I'm playing with custom skinning (xcss files).

I've created a sample xcss file, but I want to externalize gradient information in the .properties file.
Is it possible ? How ?

Thanks very much for your help !

Use case detail :
My use case is : I create a skin for all apps in my company, and I want app developpers to be able to override skin attributes in a property file.
Some applications will have gradients enabled and others (which want to be full compliant with our company standard) will disable them.

i.e. my skinText.xcss file (bundled in skinTest.jar) :

<u:selector name=".rich-gradient-tab">
 <u:style name="background-image">
 <f:resource f:key="org.richfaces.renderkit.html.gradientimages.TabGradientImage"/>
 </u:style>
 <u:style name="background-repeat" value="repeat-x" />
</u:selector>

I want to have something like skinText.xcss file (bundled in skinTest.jar) :

<u:selector name=".rich-gradient-tab">
 <u:style name="background-image">
 <f:resource f:skin="tabGradient"/>
 </u:style>
 <u:style name="background-repeat" value="repeat-x" />
</u:selector>

my skinText.properties (bundled in skinTest.jar) :

tabGradient=org.richfaces.renderkit.html.gradientimages.TabGradientImage

Sample application which will override gradient information :

baseSkin=skinText
tabGradient=#{null}
