Tapestry Framework Possibilties

[akshay <ak...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to know the possibility of the below given approaches(a,b,c),
which I am trying to add in the tapestry framework:

 prerequisite:

- "app.less" in my context path (used in my page layout class with
${context:app.less})

Is it possible to have an app.less file

a) which can

@import "generatedruntime.less";

The "generatedruntime.less" doesn't exist in the file system and will be
created and updated at runtime.

b) which can

@import "abc.less";

where "abc.less" exists in my file system , but can be overridden
dynamically. Doing so should force the Tapestry Less Compilation chain
to recompile the less files (at least app.less).

c) which can

@import "${myAssetDomain:test.less}";

The myAssetDomain is a custom AssetDomain class contributed using the
conventional way in AppModule class. Doing so should directly call my
custom assetfactory class, which can then be used to write the values in to
the less file from database and the Tapestry Less Compilation chain to
recompile the less files (at least app.less).


I have tried using the RequestFilter approach, but it doesnt works in
production mode as expected(only works after the sever restart).


Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Akshay

Hi Chris,

Thanks for your reply.

I actually had a look into these few days back. The above solutions are
more apt for tapestry 5.3.

Since tapestry 5,4 now offers a less compiling chain by default, it would
really be a tough time implementing the given solution.

I am rather looking for a solution which can help me in forcing a default
less compilation on the change of less variables in the .less file. Of
course before this, I need to know whether the approached mentioned by are
feasible or not.


Regards
Akshay

I reckon you may want to look in this direction

https://github.com/lltyk/tapestry-wro4j
https://github.com/cezary-biernacki/t5conduit

I think I recall some bright sparks talking about it on the list in the  
last 2 years.

The man himself even makes a suggestion  
http://apache-tapestry-mailing-list-archives.1045711.n5.nabble.com/5-4-Less-CSS-Support-td5724746.html

Bit of google foo will help you find it.  tapestry less
