[Trinidad] How to define a custom renderer for panelBox

[Rafa Pérez]

Hi all,

I am using panelBox as container for some links in our jsp's. Looking into
the generated HTML for this component I can see the following:


<!--Start: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Panel["_idJsp129"]-->
<table class="af_panelBox_dark" style="" border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
                  <td class="af_panelBox_top-start"></td>

                  <td class="af_panelBox_top"></td>

                  <td class="af_panelBox_top-end"></td>
                </tr>
<tr>
                  <td class="af_panelBox_start"></td>
                  <td class="af_panelBox_body">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
                          <td class="af_panelBox_header">Organización</td>
                        </tr>
<tr>
                          <td class="af_panelBox_content">
<!--Start: org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Panel["_idJsp130"]-->
<div class="af_panelList">
                              <ul>
                                <li> ... /li>
                              </ul>
                        </div>
  </td>
                        </tr>
</tbody>
</table>
  </td>
                  <td class="af_panelBox_end"></td>

                </tr>
<tr>
                  <td class="af_panelBox_bottom-start"></td>

                  <td class="af_panelBox_bottom"></td>

                  <td class="af_panelBox_bottom-end"></td>
                </tr>
</tbody>
</table>

As you see, the first child of panelBox's body is a table. There is no way
of styling the width of this element, what causes that the panelBox::header
and the panelBox::content are unable to fill the width of the
panelBox::body.

I do not know if this is the correct behaviour or it is a bug. To work
around this issue, I am trying to define a custom renderer for panelBox.
Unfortunately, I have no success. I have created MyPanelBoxRenderer who
extends PanelBoxRenderer, and declared it as a renderer in
faces-config.xmlas follows:

<render-kit>
        <render-kit-id>
              org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.core
        </render-kit-id>

        <render-kit-class>
          org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.renderkit.core.CoreRenderKit
        </render-kit-class>

        <renderer>
            <component-family>
                org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Panel
            </component-family>
            <renderer-type>
                org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Box
            </renderer-type>
            <renderer-class>
                core.vista.renderer.MyPanelBoxRenderer
               </renderer-class>
        </renderer>
</render-kit>

But the application does not use this renderer at all. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
