0

I’m using JSF 1.2 with Richfaces, and for every ajax request, the server is sending back the response, whichi is good, but it also contains all the links to the javascript files. I want to improve the performance so I just want the <body> to be returned, because all the javascript files are already loaded in the browser when the user logs in (my app is not restful). How can i do that?

Thanks

This is an example of a response to reRender an image when clicking a button.

You have certain control over those (scripts and css) by two context params. See here.

I’d suggest that you make a Filter that sets a long time cache for all .js and .css files. Thus you won’t have any performance issues.
