Appended conversation id in UILoadStyle prevents caching of dynamically included CSS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2619 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2619 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Controls Affects Versions: 2.1.0.A1 Reporter: Christian Bauer Assignee: Pete Muir Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.1.0.GA The UILoadStyle component adds <link>s to custom CSS files to a page header, served by the resource servlet: <link rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' href='/wiki/seam/resource/style/themes/inrelationto/css/faqBrowser.css?cid=20' /> The appended conversation id prevents caching in browsers of this resource, it is set here: public abstract class UILoadStyle extends HtmlLoadStyle { @Override public Object getSrc() { UIConversationId uiConversationId = UIConversationId.newInstance(); uiConversationId.setViewId(Pages.getViewId(getFacesContext())); try { UrlBuilder urlBuilder = new UrlBuilder(StyleResource.WEB_RESOURCE_PATH + super.getSrc(), null, FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getResponseWriter().getCharacterEncoding()); urlBuilder.addParameter(uiConversationId); I can see that we might want to stay inside the conversation sometimes, especially because the whole point of serving CSS through the resources infrastructure is to parse EL in these CSS files. So the best action would probably be an option on the UILoadStyle component that disables conversation propagation.
