Hi,
Currently in Orchestra a lot of effort goes into allowing this:
<someComponent id="comp1" value="....">
<f:converter id="convId"/>
</someComponent>
where the actual converter instance attached to comp1 is pulled from
Spring.
In particular, this is AFAIK the only reason why class
OrchestraApplicationFactory exists, which in turn (due to jsf
compatibility problems) forces Orchestra to be compilable against JSF1.2
only.
Is this feature really needed? If not, we could get rid of the
application-factory and go back to compiling Orchestra against JSF1.1.
It *is* useful to be able to create converters that have access to
conversation scopes, which in turn mean they need to be instantiated by
pulling them from Spring. But this syntax is already supported by jsf:
<someComponent id="comp2" converter="#{convId}"/>
Isn't that enough?
Regards,
Simon
