DummyFormUtils extendability
----------------------------
Key: MYFACES-294
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-294
Project: MyFaces
Type: New Feature
Versions: 1.0.9 beta
Reporter: Emond Papegaaij
Priority: Minor
During the development of a framework based on Struts and JSF (using the
struts-faces integration library) I came accross a problem with DummyFormUtils.
The current way DymmyFormUtils is handled does not allow the developer to
extend the behaviour in any way. For the struts-faces library a token field
needs to be added to the form. This token always needs to be submitted,
regardless of the form used (input or dummy). Currently the only way of adding
such a field seems to be changing the source of DummyFormUtils; not a very
flexible and reusable solution.
The main cause of this is the use of a static method for writing the dummy form
and the lack of a factory for creating an instance of the DummyFormUtils. I
propose DummyFormUtils is transformed into a singleton with a configurable
implementation (probably through an interface). Futhermore the writeDummyForm
should have a way of extending the default behaviour, probably with a protected
method responsible for writing the internals of the form.
