Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache Shale To Move To the Attic

It provides the missing C in MVC of JSF for GET requests. :-) A hook in the JSP where you can declare which managed bean should be initialized for rendering. Typically high in your JSP, <s:subview id="name-of-your-bean"> would call NameOfYourBean.prerender() event. Each page is in control of what beans it needs w/o maintaining any additional mapping file or worry about URLs or having to recompile java on changes. It provides you also with the flexibility to do conditional initialization with verbatims etc. I'll check your link, thanks. It looks like the hook is the other direction with orchestra where the bean maps to JSPs.

Hello Cyril,

The Orchestra ViewController can definitely handle this. See: http://myfaces.apache.org/orchestra/myfaces-orchestra-core/viewController.html.

I'm not too familiar with the <s:subview> tag -- how does that work?

    Hi Kito, by VC feature I meant essentially the prerender event for
    processing GET requests. I couldn't see such hook from Orchestra's
    overview. Does it have such a feature?
    Writing custom PhaseListeners kicking in logic based on URLs gets
    a bit old... :) Shale's declarative <s:subview id> is great and
    much cleaner. Anything else like that out there?
