I have a simple UiBinder widget containing a TextArea:
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
    xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui">
    <g:TextArea visibleLines="3" />
</ui:UiBinder>
I want to control the background color of this textarea for writeable and read only states. GWT uses the "-readonly" style name decorator to achieve this. So I try this:
<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">
<ui:UiBinder xmlns:ui="urn:ui:com.google.gwt.uibinder"
    xmlns:g="urn:import:com.google.gwt.user.client.ui">
    <ui:style>
        .textBoxStyle {
            background-color:yellow;
        }
        .textBoxStyle-readonly {
            background-color:lightgray;
        }
    </ui:style>
    <g:TextArea styleName="{style.textBoxStyle}" visibleLines="3" />
</ui:UiBinder>
Obviously this won't work because style names are obfuscated for CssResources resulting in something like this:
.G1x26wpeN {
    background-color:yellow
 }
.G1x26wpeO {
    background-color: lightgray;
}
The result HTML for writeable textarea looks like this:
<textarea tabindex="0" class="G1x26wpeN" rows="3"/>
The read only textarea looks like this:
<textarea tabindex="0" class="G1x26wpeN G1x26wpeN-readonly" readonly="" rows="3"/>
How do I declare the style so GWT will obfuscate the primary part but not the "-readonly" decdorator?
I know that I can disable the obfuscation for the entire style name. But I'd like to keep the obfuscation while making use of the decorators.
