[jira] Closed: (APA-29) Resource download servlet for static javascript resource files from within a JAR file.

Woonsan Ko closed APA-29.
-------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

I'd like to close this issue because of the following reasons:
a) Even with this servlet support, it still requires additional configuration in a portlet web application to use portlets which needs javascript downloading.
b) This kind of servlet is too generic for apa-gems; I don't think apa-gems is a proper location.
c) Somebody could make use of org.springframework.js.resource.ResourceServlet for the same reason.

By the way, a portlet could be able to generate and serve resource urls for javascript by itself. (e.g. IFrameGenericPortlet generating the resizing js url with resource portlet url if portlet 2.0 is available.)

> A portlet can depend on javascript resource files to contribute header elements or its own custom use.
> If a portlet is used as an out-of-box component packaged in a jar, it is sometimes difficult for end-users to copy and configure the javascript resource file paths in portlet.xml or web.xml. If the out-of-box component package is integrated by maven dependency, it would be worse because the additional javascript resource files must be manually copied from somewhere by the developer.
> So, if a portlet package jar file contains the javascript resource files and has a minimized guideline to configure a specific servlet to serve the javascript resource files from its own jar file, then it would reduce the pains.
