Setting the com.icesoft.faces.compressResources context param to false is still compressing the script files. Line 19 in ResourceServer.java is always returning the default of true because the value it's looking for is always null. Here's a list of all the context attributes in my application :

Here are all of the init params for my application:

 javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX
 javax.faces.STATE_SAVING_METHOD

It's there in the initParams (like we all thought), but in the code it's looking for an attribute.
