Railo running JAVA version of less.js

At Work, we are giving one of our sites a make over which was done by an external company. They have delivered some working HTML, but very quickly that I discovered that I am going to have to tweak the CSS - lots of hard coded height and widths for mega menu; not so good for a CMS.

After a bit of a look around it seems to me that it was generated with less.js. So I have asked if they could provide me with the less files.

While waiting for that I did a bit of Googling and found that Railo can run a JAVA version of less.js. A bit of downloading some JARS and cut and paste coding I had it working - first time!

Next I tweaked it a bit forther to create something that would output CSS content with something like:

<link rel='stylesheet' href='/less/index.cfm?src=/css/global-styles.less' />

Code:

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true">

<cfparam name="URL.src" type="string">

<cfset variables.javajs = createObject("java","org.mozilla.javascript.tools.shell.Main",
"/labs/less-js/cfelements/jars/js.jar")>

<cfset variables.javaless = createObject("java","com.asual.lesscss.LessEngine",
"/labs/less-js/cfelements/jars/lesscss-engine-1.1.4.jar")>

<cfcontent type="text/css" reset="true">
<cfoutput>#variables.javaless.compile(fileRead(URL.src))#</cfoutput>

<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="false">

Thanks to Cfelement, Nathan Strutz and Asual - Oh, and those wonderful folks over at Railo ;-)
