[dialog] Styling the dialog-config to SCXML

2006-08-25 Thread Rahul Akolkar
As step 0 of SHALE-263 [1], here [2] is an initial cut of the stylesheet for producing the needed SCXML documents from Shale dialog configuration files. That directory [2] also contains the result of styling the dialog-config.xml that comes with the Shale usecases application (log on / edit

[dialog] How to use a common view with different dialog managed beans?

2006-08-25 Thread Paul Spencer
An advantage with the current dialog.data bean is that it allows a the use of a common view when the underlying data objects are different. How would this be done with dialog managed beans? As an example the AbstractPayment class has a CreditCard and a Check implementation. Both the Pay By

I have few initial concerns after looking over the excellent documentation and examples on the Commons SCXML site. So far, my concerns are as follows: 1.) I'm not wild about having to run an XSL transform on dialogs during compile time but the SCXML approach to configuring dialogs seems to

@Sean - I take it you are using this attribute? Any ideas here? Can you please explain (again) how you use it? There may be other ways to achieve the desired results, from an SCXML PoV. Ofcourse, that will only be applicable for new applications. Basically there were a bunch of shortcoming in

I think Paul was commenting on an earlier idea that I had about scrapping #{dialog.data} in favor of a managed bean type solution. If I'm reading his message correctly he raises some good points. I think we're past that idea now though in favor of keeping #{dialog.data} but no longer blowing

On the wiki[1], we've got mandatory requirement #9 talking about support for Support for multiple active dialog instances within a single page (i.e. more than one instance within a particular JSF view. Thinking about this further, I'm not sure we really need that ... and Seam doesn't support it
