org.ajax4jsf.COMPRESS_SCRIPT

[ajanz]

i use extensively richfaces components on my application.

i found some performance tips on

http://www.javaplex.com/blog/optimizing-jsf-richfaces-applications/

so i added

<context-param>

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

</context-param>

to my web.xml

but nothing changed.

did i something wrong ? how to activate compress_script?

[ajanz]

so i found in documentation to use

<web:ajax4jsf-filter force-parser="true"
enable-cache="true"
log4j-init-file="custom-log4j.xml"
url-pattern="*.seam"/>

in my components.xml.

but when i do this i got


Caused by: org.dom4j.DocumentException: Error on line 60 of document  : The pref
ix "web" for element "web:ajax4jsf-filter" is not bound. Nested exception: The p
refix "web" for element "web:ajax4jsf-filter" is not bound.

You probably should add the namespace:

xmlns:web="http://jboss.com/products/seam/web"

What do you mean with "nothing changed"?

org.ajax4jsf.COMPRESS_SCRIPT=true just removes white spaces and tries to put the script in less lines than the readable, good looking and  original javascript file. Is that what you were expecting for?

If you are expecting for Gzip, deflat compression (in order to reduce the traffic to the server) that's not the way, you should have a look to other alternatives. But all depends what's you final goal.

HTH.

[ajanz]

i want to reduce traffic and improve performance

i added

compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript"
    compression="on"

to my connector in server.xml

can i do more?

You can take a look at this page, however it is not finished I believe

[cash1981]

...and it is more for after Seam 2.2.1, so I believe you have to wait. But maybe you get some tips

[ajanz]

i already looked at the page. that's why i got

compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/css,text/javascript"
    compression="on"

is there more i could do?

i see e.g. that the scripts included from richfaces still contains lots of white spaces etc.

any more hints?
