MyFaces FacesConfig Component Elements Do Not Contain Property Elements So
Tools Do Not Work As well
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-706
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-706
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Components: General
Versions: 1.1.0
Reporter: Rod Magnuson
The component elements look like the following:
<component>
<component-type>org.apache.myfaces.HtmlCommandButton</component-type>
<component-class>org.apache.myfaces.component.html.ext.HtmlCommandButton</component-class>
</component>
In the RI, they are much more flushed out and include property elements like:
<property>
<description>
MethodBinding representing the application action to invoke when
this component is activated by the user. The expression must
evaluate to a public method that takes no parameters, and returns
a String (the logical outcome) which is passed to the
NavigationHandler for this application.
</description>
<display-name>Application Action</display-name>
<icon></icon>
<property-name>action</property-name>
<property-class>javax.faces.el.MethodBinding</property-class>
</property>
Note the property-class of javax.faces.el.MethodBinding. This allows tools to
know what properties are method bindings. This allows more VB like interactions
with the components. For example, in jdeveloper if you dbl-click a button it
will automatically bind the action component to a method for you.
