Compressing the JavaScript and CSS files on the fly using YUI COmpressor

I was trying to build a Servlet and Filter which can be used to minify JavaScript and CSS on the fly using YUI COmpressor. But i ran into this exception. When i was searching for solution to this problem i found WebUtils project which has
following components which can use easily used in J2EE webapp.

• JSCSSMergeServlet - to merge multiple JS or CSS and serve them in one HTTP request.


• YUIMinFilter - to compress JS or CSS resources on the fly using YUI compressor.


• YuiMinTag - Custom tag to compress inline JS and CSS code using YUI compressor in JSPs.
