Method Detail

getShortStyleClasses

public static java.util.Dictionary getShortStyleClasses(StyleContext context,
                                                        StyleProvider provider)

Returns a Dictionary which maps style class names to equivalent shorter names.

Some StyleProvider implementations, such as the FileSystemStyleCache, automatically provide compressed versions style class names. The short style classes can be used instead of the full style class names to reduce the overall size of generated content.

Note: The returned Dictionary uses String keys to represent the full class names. However, the short style class values may not necessarily be type java.lang.String. Clients must avoid explicitly casting the values contained in the Dictionary to type String. Instead, such values should be passed directly to the OutputMethod API to be rendered. Or, if the String representation is required, toString() should be called on the value.

Parameters:

context - The StyleContext

provider - The StyleProvider

Returns:

A Dictionary which maps the full style class names to the shorter equivalents.
