RE: Using JSF from code & behind another controller

[balaji.saranathan]

Hi, I'm new to all of this and learning on the way.   But I'm doing something similar to the first point below. I'm building a component that can build me a form from XML based configuration file.  In that case you would directly use the HtmlForm and HtmlInputText. The component I'm designing builds the form page with the regular _expression_ validator thrown into it. It also takes in a Bean to fill in the values in case of a Edit mode.   I would also appreciate if I get any feedback on designing such dynamically created forms. Is it worth the effort to do it?     From: Duncan Krebs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sat 7/23/05 1:43 AM To: users@myfaces.apache.org Subject: Using JSF from code & behind another controller Hi, I’m trying to integrate MyFaces into an in-house web framework and have a couple of grey areas that I’m trying to think through.   Building JSF pages without JSP and taglibs. Lets say I want to dynamically build a JSF form and the controls that should be included in the form are defined at runtime, instead of a typical java bean. The idea I have is to dynamically build a JSF form all in code and then be able to reuse it throughout the life of the form. The first thing I need to figure out is what API would I use to directly instantiate stuff like, <h:form><f:inputText> etc. directly in code without using the associated Taglibs. Is this possible?   Using JSF behind another controller. I currently have a controller that is responsible for serving all requests and its specific to an existing framework that I still want to use. However I also want to use JSF!. The way I see myself wanting to integrate this is like this: I have my overall page broken down into 4 sections, for the sake of this example lets say each section is its own jsp page. Now lets say that I know one of these pages is a JSF page, I would usually get a RequestDispatcher off the ServletContext to get the jsp output but in this case it has to go through the JSF controller. What could I do? Or more generally is it even possible to put the JSF controller behind another controller?   Any comments or thoughts would be greatly appreciated as I’m having a tough time finding my answers on the web.             Confidentiality Notice The information contained in this electronic message and any attachments to this message are intended for the exclusive use of the addressee(s) and may contain confidential or privileged information.
