I tried the codegenerator, and it did not produce the results that are in the existing code: A file compare gives me a lot of:
< return vb != null ? _ComponentUtils.getStringValue(getFacesContext(), vb) : null; --- > return vb != null ? (String)vb.getValue(getFacesContext()) : null; > is existing svn code < is generated code Am I doing something wrong? -----Original Message----- From: Manfred Geiler [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, September 07, 2006 4:11 AM To: MyFaces Development Subject: Re: GENERATED CODE BEGIN (do not modify!) Dennis, Lance, I am indeed of the opinion that is is NOT OK to modify this generated code parts. Code generation will get importance again when we do the 1.2 port. And: Code generation is still important and convenient for coding new tomahawk components. Well, nobody seems to use it by now. Reason might be (no, I'm sure it IS) the lack of docs. Yes, Lance, you are right, there are no docs. Mea culpa. And in defense I can not even say it's self-explaining. Because it is not! ;-) Ok, I give you a very short intro: Codegenerator can be used by doing a "mvn clean install -Pregenerate-component-code" You can try it in core/api for instance. Base for the generation of these code parts is an according xml file that looks like this: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/myfaces/core/trunk/api/src/main/java/javax/face s/component/html/HtmlCommandButton.xml?view=markup and sits in the same src dir as the component's java file. (which is nonsense and should be in a config folder according to the maven standard dir layout, of course) There are some quirks: No dtd or xsd, and so on But: it works! And it did a great job in the early days of MyFaces. HTH and thanks for your interest in this nostalgic thingy :-) Manfred On 9/5/06, L Frohman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks, > There is a codegenerator under "build-tools" under "maven". > No documentation?
