Using the expression language in CSS - CSS as XML

[jrwsampson]

I would like to be able to use the expression language in my CSS files, so that I can do things like this:

<f:verbatim>
<style>
#sscontainer{
top: #{brandedPageManager.user.webpage.webpagetype.sspTop};
}
</style>
</f:verbatim>

This works fine inside the head element of my xhtml file, but I would like to be able to do the same thing in an externally linked file (for SEO reasons). What do I need to do to get Seam to parse the CSS file and perform the variable replacement?

There is actually unofficial support in Seam for this - access a css file with the path

/yourapp/seam/style/path/from/view/root/to/style.css and it should be EL interpolated.

http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2431 is the issue to tidy this up and document it.
