Keeping JavaScripts in a .js file instead of .script

[Wojtek Ciesielski <cc...@interia.pl>]

Hi there,

Is there ANY sensible way to keep component's javascript in a .js file 
instead of that .script XML one? Because of an XML format I can't use 
any syntax-colouring editor with it, also all < > or & chars need  to be 
encoded as an HTML entities... What on earth caused anybody to use XML 
for storing javascript ?

1) inside xml you can have
<![CDATA[
anything, even < > &
]]>

2) you don't have to use .script files, they serve a very specific purpose =
writing out dynamic js.

3) Take a look at
http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/usersguide/script.html
there's an include-script section!

4) You can directly add js in your pages, without messing with .script if
that's what you
simply want.

The goal of the design is that you put 95% of your logic into a static
.js file, references from your .script file.  The purpose of the
.script is to provide the dynamically generated glue code ... things
like event registrations and such.
