[Tobago] Hints for Custom Component Development using Tobago Layouting and Skinning?

[Clemens Schneider <cl...@gmail.com>]

Hi there,
I'm serarching for some information to custom component development with
tobago.
Is there any info on the architecture? Perhaps someone could just line out
the needed steps and classes to enhance and get information from? e.g. what
has to be concerned when providing layouting and skinning, what does tobago
need to know from my components etc..
Thanks so much in advance!

Hello Clemens,

please look at the tobago sandbox.

Property and resource loading and Renderer loading is done in following 
order

<resource-path>/<content-type>/<theme>/<client>[tag(for 
renderer)|property|style|script|image]_locale.(class|property|property.xml|css|js| 
gif|png...]

The locale handling is handled like the Properties Class.

You have not define everything because the ResourceManager is asking the 
fallback theme for missing resources

The fallback theme of charlotteville is speyside.
The fallback theme of speyside is scarborough
The fallback theme of scarborough is standard

The resource manager looks in the case of the charlotteville theme in
charlotteville -> speyside -> scarborough -> standard

For example:

The renderer for Out is found in

org.apache.myfaces.tobago.renderkit.html.scarborough.standard.tag.OutRenderer

OutRenderer is getRendererType() + "Renderer"


Can correct me someone if I'm wong or something is missing.


Regards


Bernd
