I have the following on my main jsf wrapper page:

<head>
  <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xhtml; charset=UTF-8"/>
  <title>
    <ui:insert name="pageTitle" /> 
  </title>

  <a4j:loadScript src="resource://jquery.js" />
  <a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/base.js" />
  <a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/common.js" />
  <a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/inactivity.js" />
</head>

Now I have a new page on the site and it requires some js functions. So i have created a new js file, myNewJSFile.js

I only want it loaded if a user lands on this page so obviosuly I dont want to add it to my above list of files in the head. Additionally I’d rather not include it at the top of my new page.

What I want is one place where I can define what files to load based on the current page.

So somthing like this (Pseudo code):

main jsf wrapper:

<head>
  <jsIncludes>
</head>

jsIncludes file:

<a4j:loadScript src="resource://jquery.js" />
<a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/base.js" />
<a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/common.js" />
<a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/inactivity.js" />

<if page == "myNewPage>
  <a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/myNewJsFile.js" />
<elfeif ...>
...
</if>

Is there a simple way of doing this?

Thanks

    a4j:loadScript always places the javascript in the <head>, no matter where you use it, you have to do nothing. (the doc doesn’t mention this for some strange reason)

    So to answer your question: if you use <a4j:loadScript src="resource:///bla/html/js/myNewJsFile.js" /> in the page where you need it, the <script style="text/javascript" src="..." /> will appear in the <head>.
