[jira] Commented: (TAPESTRY-2098) Pack javascript (prototype, scriptaculo etc.)

["Adam Ayres (JIRA)" <de...@tapestry.apache.org>]

Adam Ayres commented on TAPESTRY-2098:
--------------------------------------

Please consider the following when evaluating this issue:

* [JS Libraries load slower when packed + gzip then just gzip alone|http://jst.pbwiki.com/summary.php]
* [Packing JavaScript might be a security thread|http://www.secureworks.com/research/threats/thepacker/]

My preference would be to see something native to Tapestry that had the ability to combine and minify the JS assets (I believe this has been discussed in the past).  Combining can be tricky since there are JS assets that might be considered "core" and included on every page (such as the third party libs or common internal libs).  Then there are page specific JS assets which would be nice if they were combined separately from the "core" libs (for client caching purposes).  Having control over where the combined JS file is included is also important (in the head vs right before the script block and closing body tag).   Just my two cents, keep up the great work Howard!
