java - Is it possible to use JSP/JSTL to generate dynamic css/javascript files?

Question

If so how do you do this?

(jboss/tomact embedded/jdk 1.5)

not embedded js/css but an actual file...

Answer 1

Sure you can. Only thing you need to do is to set the appropriate content type.

<%@page contentType="text/javascript" %>

or

<%@page contentType="text/css" %>

Take care with the fact that some webbrowsers might be picky on the file extension used in the actual request URL. I have never tried it as I normally would use a Servlet for those purposes, but I won't be surprised if especially MSIE won't eat that.
