hello gabrielle,
thank you for joining the discussion!
:-)
as i said:
it isn't a replacement of the current mechanism!
it's just an additional/alternative approach and you are free to
activate it within the web.xml - including all advantages and
disadvantages.
(in most cases every solution provides advantages and disadvantages.)
sure, but alternative or not I'm still -1. :-(
the whole issue is based on common requirements of real world projects.
i'm sure that there is a reason for the current approach. however,
there are also other opinions out there.
so it would be great to alternatively support other common requirements.
Sure, I'm not saying there isn't a problem, I'm just saying I don't like
this particular solution.
the current default command mechanism is very restricted in view of
focus handling.
-> the patch provides an alternative focus handling.
Can you give an example use case?
concerning conventions:
what are your counter-arguments?
Well, first of all it makes the id's longer which has a perf impact.
But far more important is that I believe API's should be explicit,
naming conventions are not explicit, for example it makes it difficult
for a DT to do something useful.
Thanks,
Gabrielle
