Heya!
Because the hippo-cms-engine jar seems to be structured like a webfragment (servlet 3.0 spec stuff), the public facing assets in that webfragment are subject to the resource finding rules that apply to webfragments. Which means that you can serve up a different file from the main project when you put it in the cms module at: src/main/java/resources/angular/navapp/filelist.json.
So now, when the browser requests filelist.json, it won’t serve the file from the webfragment, but from the main resources folder. The contents of mine looks like this:
{
"main.js": "main.39766d137d76941d6d26.js",
"polyfills.js": "polyfills.b3b4640e1e6332436593.js",
"runtime.js": "runtime.a8ef3a8272419c2e2c66.js",
"styles.css": "styles.62262ab71bf6a5cbb667.css"
}
But depending on your version the hashes may have to be different (which is the downside of this approach). I’d still much prefer the script not being loaded at all when the sending usage statistics has been disabled. It’d be wise to document this somewhere as a step to consider when updating between versions.
Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Marnix
