Hi,
I'm currently looking into a way of getting information for a widget in
my template that has been defined in the model. But it seems to me that
this is not possible right now.
Is anyone against streaming out all attributes of a widget in the
generateSaxFragment() method? As attributes are not used frequently I
think this shouldn't create problems.
This *will* create problems, as attributes can be of any type, and not
just Strings (although only Strings can be specified in the widget's
definition).
Yes, now I see two solutions for this: we could just stream out the
attributes of
the definition (which are strings) or if we need all attributes, stream
out attributes which can be streamed.
I would go for the first solution, anything against this?
Sounds hacky to me...
Now if you're using JXTemplate, you can directly access attribute values
with ${widget.getAttribute('foo')}.
Yes, I know but I can't *directly* access the attributes in an xsl
stylesheet. And unfortunately it's not possible to overwrite the
jxmacros and extend the streaming mechanism there.
Dumb question: why do you need these attributes in the XSL?
Attributes were meant to allow additional information to be communicated
between the application logic and the various event handlers and
validators attached to widgets, whereas the XSLs are supposed to use the
styling information for their job.
