static JavaServer Page tag
|
|
Use the static JSP tag to cause one or more static file bundles, individual text files, or individual binary files to be included in the current stream. PROJ-322 5.4 A static file bundle rule identifies a list of JavaScript, image, and Cascading Style Sheet files to be sent to a browser session together in one HTTP response, to reduce HTTP traffic and improve response time to the browser user.
For example:
<pega:static type="script"
app="webwb" >
<pega:bundle name="pega_tools"
/>
<pega:bundle name="acmestyles"
/>
<pega:file name="markov.js"
/>
<pega:binaryfile name="johnson.gif" app="webwb"
/>
</pega:static>
This tag references two static bundle rules pega_tools.script and Acmestyles.script, which in turn may identify multiple text file rules (Rule-File-Text rule type) containing JavaScript scripts.
The <pega:file > tag identifies a single text file rule (a JavaScript file, webwb.markov.js) to be included in the stream. BERRB Similarly, the <pega:binary tag> identifies a single binary file rule (an image) to be included in the stream.
For example, when entering HTML
source code directly into the HTML tab of a
HTML Property rule (or similar form), you can minimize the size of the
resulting HTML document with the <pega:onlyonce >,
<pega:bundle> and <pega:static > tags. See Including only
one copy of JavaScript code in More About HTML
property rules.
In the syntax presentation below:
<pega:static
app="applicationname"
type="type">
<!-- one or more pega:bundle JSP tags -->
<!-- one
or more pega:file JSP tags -->
</pega:static>
The type attribute is required.
You can include a pega:when tag within the static tag scope, to conditionalize which bundles or files are included.
References to CSS files (in the form of the
<link rel="stylesheet" ...> tag) must appear within the
<head> element of an HTML document. In contrast, a <script
..> tag can appear anywhere in the document.

If your application includes JavaScript files, CSS files, or other static content saved in multiple text file rules that are needed together at runtime on the user workstation, group them into a bundle. For an example, see More about HTML Property rules.
