User dialog
-----------
- I created a multi select control (similar to the roles selection in
the user dialog)
- the user dialog is now totally configured. this allows configuration
of additional fields like preferences, email address, ...
General Enhancements
--------------------
Changing the user dialog I realized how easy things could be with a few
changed lines of code:
- dialog handler can pass the dialog to the save handler (if extending
DialogAwareSaveHandler). This allows the save handler to consult any
dialog information --> special kind of savings
- the dialog initializes it's values with request parameters if this
dialog was posted (click save). This allows a validation and also a
rerendering of the dialog after something failed (containing the values
the user entered).
- the AlertUtil can set a message on the context. the message is alerted!
- defaultValue is configurable (was already, but I think its good to
repeat this)
- required (as a first basic validation facility)
Why not more
------------
I did what I was able to do with a few hour of work and without changing
to much code. It is still one of my main goal to move the dialogs to JSF.
