[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-659?page=comments#action_12331217 ]
Adam Winer commented on MYFACES-659: ------------------------------------ FYI, encodeBegin()/encodeChildren()/encodeEnd() only exist as separate methods to support JSPs. If the EG had it to do over again, we would likely only have a single encodeAll() method (which would have been perfectly sufficient in the JSF 1.2 API). Putting everything in encodeAll() is fine by me... > Most components 'overuse' encodeEnd > ----------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-659 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-659 > Project: MyFaces > Type: Improvement > Components: Implementation > Versions: 1.1.0 > Reporter: Thomas Timbul > > Most of the component rendering implementations make use only of the > encodeEnd method. > If this is the case, why do encodeBegin and encodeChildren exist in the first > place? > I believe that encodeBegin should be used to validate parameters and children > prerequisites, prepare the component for rendering (e.g computing a model or > something), and rendering the start tag(s), encodeChildren should take care > of any child components (i.e. the actual body) and encodeEnd should finish > off by closing the tags opened in encodeBegin. > Yes, this will create an overhead for sharing data between the methods, but > it would make the operations clearer (intutitive method names?) -- 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
