Re: Configurable views via XML File

[Ricardo Tercero Lozano]

I don't think so because it is out of JSF scope.

As I said, you can control component rendering with 'rendered' attribute. You can have expressions like:

<h:inputText id="text1" value="#{some.binding } rendered="#{mybean.text1Rendered}" />

and control rendering with a bean variable. From where that variable is obtained/maintained is not JSF scope. I you can control rendering with an XML configuration, you have to code it.

You can control attribute rendering (JSF tags) through 'rendered' property. The xml configuration has to be worked on.

Hy Everyone

 

 

I experimented a little bit with JSF with Kito Mann's book "Java Server Faces in Action". Now I'm wonder if it is possible to make a JSP(View) configurable with a simple XML File. So you will be able to disable and enable some elements with a simple XML File.

 

something like this:

 

...

<street enable=no />

<postal-zip enable=yes />

...

 

So the whole form would display only the postal zip label and input text field but not a label and an input text field for the street attribute.

 

If someone ask himself: Why this should makes sence or not. I say it makes sence. One forms can be used several times and the forms intself is highly configurable.

 

 

Has allready someone done this work?
