Thomas Timbul commented on MYFACES-658: --------------------------------------- see http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-659 > UISelect*** only renders in encodeEnd(FacesContext, UIComponent) > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-658 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-658 > Project: MyFaces > Type: Improvement > Components: Implementation > Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Thomas Timbul > > I have written a ForEach component that is aimed to mirror jstl forEach > capabilities. It works for pretty much all nested components, but > specifically not for any SelectOne, SelectMany, ... > There are (as far as I can tell) 2 major reasons for this: > 1. The renderer (HtmlMenuRendererBase) renders the menu only in its > encodeEnd, and it means that any attempt to encode children (forEach) is > foiled as the call is never delegated. Really, the menu should be encoded in > the encodeChildren method (if only for consistency). > 2. and this one is linked to the above: The menu is rendered outside of the > normal cycle. By this I mean that the menu renders itself and any children. > Ideally, the menu would render only the <select></select> frame (encodeBegin > and encodeEnd) and leave the selectItem creation to a separate renderer. This > would allow me (in this case) to let my forEach renderer take care of child > creation. > Existing code can be easily reused as HtmlRendererUtils.internalRenderSelect > renders SelectItemS perfectly without the need for the containing menu to be > visible (except maybe for ID creation) > Unfortunately I do not know what impact this kind of change may have on the > rest of the lifecycle, but my guess is 'none', since only the encoding will > differ and the ForEach component (or similar flow control) would not render > visibly and does not have an ID. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
