User filtering of web resources
-------------------------------
Key: MWAR-238
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MWAR-238
Project: Maven 2.x WAR Plugin
Issue Type: New Feature
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Laurent Martelli
Attachments: filter.patch
It would be very nice to be able to filter all web resources in all kinds of
ways (not just property substitution).
So I created a patch that allow you to filter resources bases on the extension
(my purpose was to be able to remove unneeded chunks from PNG images to reduce
their size, and to you YUI Compressor on css and javascript files). Here's a
sample configuration for the patched plugin:
{noformat}<configuration>
<userFilters>
<png>PNGFilter</png>
<css>cssCompressor</css>
<js>jsCompressor</js>
</userFilters>
</configuration>{noformat}
I'm not fully satisfied with this patch because it does not let you configure
the filters. I tried to instantiate filter objects from the configuration
instead of using role-hints, but that did not seem to work.
Ideally, I would like to be able to write this:
{noformat}<configuration>
<userFilters>
<png>
<PNGFilter>
<excludeChunks>
<excludeChunk>gAMA</excludeChunks>
<excludeChunk>iCCP</excludeChunks>
<excludeChunk>PRIVATE</excludeChunks>
</excludeChunks>
</PNGFilter>
</png>
<css>
<cssCompressor>
<breakPosition>80</breakPosition>
</cssCompressor>
</css>
<js>
<jsCompressor>
<breakPosition>-1</breakPosition>
<obfuscate>false</obfuscate>
</jsCompressor>
</js>
</userFilters>
</configuration>{noformat}
Also, it may be better to attach filters to {{<webResource>}} in order to
control more precisely which resources are filtered.
