    copied!<p>I have a server dedicated for static contents so I don't want to use the resources dir for storing javascript files but I don't want to stop using the <code>&lt;h:outputScript /&gt;</code> tag.</p> <p>How can I make that tag generate a link to my static server where the files are located instead of <strong>RES_NOT_FOUND</strong>. I don't even need JSF to check if the files are there...</p> <p>I tried: <code>&lt;h:outputScript name="#{requestBean.staticURL}/javascript.js"/&gt;</code></p> <p>To generate: <code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://static.server.com/javascript.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></p> <p>But it generates: <code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="RES_NOT_FOUND"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></p> <p>What can I do?</p> <p><strong>SOLUTION:</strong> Daniel pointed me to a nice solution!</p> <p>I've downloaded the Omnifaces's source code and modified the <code>org.omnifaces.resourcehandler.CDNResourceHandle.createResource(String resourceName, String libraryName)</code> method to:</p> <pre><code>public Resource createResource(String resourceName, String libraryName) { final Resource resource = wrapped.createResource(resourceName, libraryName); if (cdnResources == null) { return resource; } String resourceId = ((libraryName != null) ? libraryName + ":" : "") + resourceName; String path = cdnResources.get(resourceId); if(path == null){ if(libraryName != null){ resourceId = libraryName + ":%"; path = cdnResources.get(resourceId); if(path == null){ return resource; } path += "/"+resourceName; } else return resource; } final String requestPath = path; return new ResourceWrapper() { @Override public String getRequestPath() { return requestPath; } @Override public Resource getWrapped() { return resource; } }; } </code></pre> <p>With this change I can add this to my <strong>web.xml</strong> file</p> <pre><code>&lt;context-param&gt; &lt;param-name&gt;org.omnifaces.CDN_RESOURCE_HANDLER_URLS&lt;/param-name&gt; &lt;param-value&gt; somelib2:%=http://cdn.example.com/somelib2, js/script1.js=http://cdn.example.com/js/script1.js, somelib:js/script2.js=http://cdn.example.com/somelib/js/script2.js, otherlib:style.css=http://cdn.example.com/otherlib/style.css, images/logo.png=http://cdn.example.com/logo.png &lt;/param-value&gt; &lt;/context-param&gt; </code></pre> <p>Notice the <code>somelib2:%=http://cdn.example.com/somelib2</code>, this will point any resource in <strong>somelib2</strong> library to the relative path in <strong>http://cdn.example.com/somelib2</strong>, for example:</p> <p><code>&lt;h:outputScript name="js/myjs.js" library="somelib2" /&gt;</code></p> <p>will output:</p> <p><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://cdn.example.com/somelib2/js/myjs.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</code></p> <p>This works with <code>&lt;h:outputScript /&gt;&lt;h:outputStylesheet /&gt;&lt;h:graphicImage /&gt;</code>, anything that use resources;</p>
