Hi there,

For maintenance purposes I want to keep stylesheets in separate files.
However, when served, they should be concatenated together as a single file.

Why?

- Why do this with a JSP/Servlet?

- Why not concatenate it into a single CSS file at build time, prior to deployment?

- Why not use the CSS import directive?

Serving it via a servlet risks preventing the browser from caching it as effectively.

Simply, I have a file called global.css with the following:

<%@ include file="../global/i_base.css" %>
<%@ include file="../global/i_header.css" %>
<%@ include file="../global/i_footer.css" %>
<%@ include file="../global/i_layout.css" %>
<%@ include file="../global/i_button.css" %>

In the head of a JSP file I put the line:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen"
href="/assets/css/concat/global.css" />

Of course, the CSS file isn't processed by the JSP servlet. What do I need
to configure to allow the CSS file to process the include directives?

Thanks,
Nick.
