Using Custom CSS with extensions filter

[joelus <jo...@beach.co.za>]

I used the tabbedpane component, without using the extensions filter, by
copying the relevant resource files into my local directory and then worked
on the relevant css files to get the exact look and feel that I wanted. In
one of the tabs I put a inputCalendar component. In order to get it to work
though, I had to add the extensions filter to the web.xml. Unfortunately,
doing this messes up my carefully designed tabbedPane component as my custom
css file is ignored in place of the css found in tomahawk. 

Is there anyway around this? ie, can I either override the css supplied when
using the extensions filter for my tabbedpane, or, can I get the
inputcalendar component to work without the extensions filter?

Any insight appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks for the responses! 
Mike, I'll try your suggestion and let you know how it goes. I haven't used
filters much before so I guess it's time I learnt how!

There may be better ways to do this, but since the Extension filter
intercepts two kinds of requests, just add a second filter in front of
it that intercepts the resource-serving part.   When you see a
resource you want to replace, then serve your own resource instead.  
Otherwise, let the request go through to the extension filter.

<!-- my replacement  -->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>MyResourceServerFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/css-file-to-replace.css</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<!-- extension mapping for serving page-independent resources
(javascript, stylesheets, images, etc.)  -->
<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>MyFacesExtensionsFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/faces/myFacesExtensionResource/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>



I think there's a javascriptLocation attribute you can specify per
component.  I wonder if there's also a cssLocation attribute?   If
not, perhaps you could submit a patch to create one.

Hi,

why not using extensions filter always? You can apply every ressource
you want, also when using extensions filter.

Just use the style-sheets as ever before. Or do I missunderstand your problem?

cheers,

Gerald
