Re: Vote for new displayValueOnly attribute

[Grant Smith]

Before casting a vote, I would like to seek clarity on one issue this seems to raise: If the displayValueOnly attibute is set, does the underlying component change ? for example, if I have: <x:someComponent binding="#{someBean.methodReturningComponent}"/> And I directly manipulate the underlying component with someBean.methodReturningComponent(). If I add the new displayValueOnly, will I still be able to directly manipulate the same underlying component, or will that component now be something different ? I'm thinking it WILL be different, but I would like clarity on that. Thanks, Grant.

I apologize for the ones that would be bothered by this, and here is the new feature I propose to vote on : - Add an interface similar to UserRoleAware, that some x: components would implement. - Add the matching attribute (no name decided yet, but let's use displayValueOnly). By default, displayValueOnly is false, and the components behaves as they do today. When displayValueOnly is true, no input widget is rendered. Only the text corresponding to the component's value is displayed. Examples : For inputText, inputTextarea, inputHtml, the text is displayed as if it where rendered by an outputText (with proper escape). For radio buttons, check boxes, combo boxes & list boxes, only the selected values are displayed. For inputDate, the date is rendered As suggested by Manfred, please remember that a negative binding vote on a *feature addition* proposal means: showstopper, that prevents the whole community from getting a (perhaps) valuable contribution. A -1 voter should at least present an alternative solution and should be willing to implement it himself Here is my +1 for this. Thanks, Sylvain. .
