Some questions and suggestions that may need further discussion:
- Is there a reason why validators and converters (actionListeners and
valueChangeListeners too?) are not inherited by elements and extending
components?
- There is a problem with properties. A component is possibly based on the
generic attribute map and has no setter for a property. e.g. functionName
property in ValidatorScript.
At the moment Clay has no knowledge about such attributes and it's impossible
to do a type conversion. I think something like this is needed:
<component jsfid="validatorScript"
componentType="org.apache.shale.ValidatorScript"/>
<properties>
<property name="functionName" type="String"/>
</properties>
...
</component>
Which could be optional if a setter exists.
- I think something like namespaces is needed for the jsfid attribut to avoid
name collisions between components of different sources.
- I think that it would be a nice possibility to have a component without
componentType to define components without common parent.
Something like this:
<component jsfid="aField"/>
<element jsfid="outputLabel">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="#{messages["components.fieldName"]}" />
<set name="for" value="inputField"/>
</attributes>
</element>
<element jsfid="emptyOutputText"/>
<element jsfid="panelGroup">
<element id="inputField" jsfid="inputText">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="#{managed-bean-name.value}" />
</attributes>
</element>
<element jsfid="errorMessage">
<attributes>
<set name="for" value="inputField"/>
</attributes>
</element>
</element>
</component>
<component jsfid="aPanel" extends="panelGrid">
<element jsfid="aField"/>
</component>
Whereby the elements from aField are directly added to the panelGrid.
Comments welcome.
