I have been giving this a lot of thought lately.
Since most of my entities will always display a property in the same way (e.g.
date, menu, etc) but on many pages. I was considering using annotations on the
property which wire it up to a JSF component, validator, converter, etc.
Then you could use a taglib to render a specific property based on whether you
are doing input or output.
So <z:input property="#{entity.prop}/> may render an inputText but <z:output
property="#{entity.prop}/> may be an outputText.
Then I guess you could also have a taglib to iterate over all properties on the
entity and render the whole form.
Simple things like inputText fields would be very easy but I haven't got my
head around more advanced things yet - like how to wire up a menu with
predefined select items to set a property.
My thinking is that this could be used to speed up UI development in most
cases, or you could still drop back to hand-coding the JSF/facelets if you need
something more advanced.
I'd be more than happy to help, or even head up a project to get this happening
if there is enough interest.
