OmniFaces CombinedResourceHandler PF Convenience Classes

We heavily use the Omnifaces CombinedResourceHandler to combine our CSS and JS to just 1 script each in our PrimeFaces apps.

See: https://showcase.omnifaces.org/resourcehandlers/CombinedResourceHandler

However PrimeFaces hard codes some resources in the HeadRenderer which leave it outside the scope of being combined like the theme.css, beanvalidation.js etc etc.

Of course @BalusC has an excellent solution provided on his WIKI here: https://github.com/omnifaces/omnifaces/wiki/Combine-hardcoded-PrimeFaces-resources-using-CombinedResourceHandler

So rather than make people copy and paste and change with every PF version I thought I would include the classes here for PrimeFaces Extensions starting with 10.0.

faces-config.xml

<application>
    <system-event-listener>
        <system-event-listener-class>org.primefaces.extensions.application.PrimeFacesScriptProcessor</system-event-listener-class>
        <system-event-class>javax.faces.event.PostAddToViewEvent</system-event-class>
        <source-class>javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot</source-class>
     </system-event-listener>
</application>

<lifecycle>
    <phase-listener>org.primefaces.extensions.application.PrimeFacesResourceProcessor</phase-listener>
</lifecycle>

Don’t forget to disable PF’s HeadRenderer:

<render-kit>
    <renderer>
        <component-family>javax.faces.Output</component-family>
        <renderer-type>javax.faces.Head</renderer-type>
        <renderer-class>com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.HeadRenderer</renderer-class>
    </renderer>
</render-kit>

In case you’re using MyFaces, use org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlHeadRenderer as <renderer-class>.

Tested this (without CKEditor) and it is working flawlessly in my application. Thanks a lot!
