[Trinidad] Renaming an API that Is Used Only in Mobile Development

[Mamallan Uthaman]

Hi all,

I need your valuable suggestions in renaming the following Trinidad API 
that is used only in mobile development.

*API Name*:
skinFamilyType. It can be accessed using EL # 
{requestContext.agent.skinFamilyType}

*What is skinFamilyType API?*
CSS-support of mobile browsers varies drastically as most of the 
mobile-browsers don't strictly follow W3C standards. After analyzing 
various mobile-browsers, we have categorized  mobile-browsers based on 
their CSS-support and exposed the category thru this API. Example, this 
API returns 'nokiawebkit' for NokiaS60 and 'iPhonewebkit' for iPhone.

*Why Renaming? *
This API doesn't return any skin-family; it simply returns the category 
to which a mobile-browser belongs based on the mobile-browser's 
CSS-support. So the new name should reflect what it returns.

*Alternate Name:*
styleCategory

*Typical Usage: *
As CSS-support of mobile browsers varies drastically, developers usually 
create their own skinning with different versions of style-classes based 
on a mobile-browser's CSS-support. To handle all mobile-browsers in a 
single CSS-file, developers have to include lots of style-classes and 
tweaking such as @agent/@platform rules. The resulting CSS-file will be 
very huge, and it is not manageable. So developers prefer to maintain 
separate CSS files based on mobile-browsers' CSS-support. By creating 
different skin-families with names same as values returned by this API, 
developers can easily switch to a CSS file based on a requesting 
mobile-browser's CSS-support.
To illustrate with an example:

trinidad-config.xml contains #{requestContext.agent.skinFamilyType} 
(Remember, skinFamilyType returns 'nokiawebkit' for NokiaS60 and 
'iPhonewebkit' for iPhone)

trinidad-skin.xml contains
  <skin>
       <id>iPhonewebkit</id>
       <family>iPhonewebkit</family>
       <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
       <style-sheet-name>styles/iPhone.css</style-sheet-name>
       <! -- iPhone.css is a CSS file created by a developer to handle 
iPhone -->
   </skin>
   <skin>
       <id>nokiawebkit</id>
       <family>nokiawebkit</family>
       <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.desktop</render-kit-id>
       <style-sheet-name>styles/symbian.css</style-sheet-name>
       <! -- symbian.css is a CSS file created by a developer to handle 
NokiaS60-->
   </skin>
