Tooltip needs a diet

[damianharvey]

I've noticed that if I add rich:toolTip to a page (and absolutely nothing else), then Richfaces will include:

AjaxScript 63.9K
PrototypeScript 98.6K
jquery.js 58.1K
utils.js 10.1K
tooltip.js 12.5K

This totals 243.2K - which is about 20 times bigger than it needs to be (compared to other tooltips). I can understand the logic - eg. when the mode is ajax. However if the mode is client then the first two certainly shouldn't be used. Also, the use of jquery *and* prototype is excessive.

I see that a similar issue https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6021 was resolved in 3.3.1. Was this fix looking at the use of these scripts across other components or did it just focus on the datatable?

Thanks,

Damian.

Hi Damian,

This fix was focused on the datatable only. I've created an issue for tooltip: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6232
