Hi,
Does anyone know a way in which I could see my JSF components as JSF tags?
I am creating the components programmatically and would like to view the
JSF tags before or after they are rendered to the screen.
I don't understand what you are looking for here.
If you've created the components programatically then you have a tree of
UIComponent objects, but no "tags" are involved at all.
You can display the component tree by writing some simple code to walk
the tree:
* FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot() will return the "top
node" of the component tree
* component.getChildren() returns a list of child nodes of a component.
I don't know of any existing code to walk that tree and print out the
data in a useful format but it would be about 10 minutes work to write
it. If this were called from a PhaseListener then it might be a useful
debugging tool.
Catagay's FacesTrace tools might also be useful for you:
