RE: new components
-----Original Message-----
We really appreciate your effort, Jesse ;-)
-----/Original Message-----
Thanks... After all I should profit as well, getting maybe one or two
components that I can reuse in our applications ;-)
And feel free to help out:
- ask for components
- ideas
- requirements
- test components as they become available
- write your own components and make them available
-----Original Message-----
Any guidelines regardring the package names for the components, how
the components can be sent in etc...?
-----/Original Message-----
None so far.
What are our options?
1) Package-structure
a) org.apache.myfaces...
b) net.sf.jsfcomp....
c) whatever.you.want.... (almost whatever...)
- I believe a) is out of discussion, because of org.apache rules
- b) and c) remain valid options
2) a) all component-parts in one package-branch
b) all similar artifacts for all components in the same package-branch
c) all components of one committer in one package-branch
a) net.sf.jsfcomp.--mycomp--.component...
.tag...
.renderer...
b) net.sf.jsfcomp.component....
.tag...
.renderer...
c) net.sf.jsfcomp.--myname--.--mycomp--....
Here I have no preference at all. So describe your ideas.

I would be interested as well, to be able to commit, to start dumping
code by tomorrow (gotta pack it up for the jar distribution first, which
in case of JSF is new to me, I have to find out what has to go in there,
and make a small webapp
which uses them)
-----/Original Message-----
Well that distribution format:
- in "JSF in Action" there is a description in chapter 15.7 "Packaging
UI extensions" (page 660/661).
- Basically:
- the class- and property-files (as usual)
- in the META-INF directory
- put the tld file for your tags
- write the "partial" faces-config into a well-formed faces-config.xml
That's it. Your "customer" just has to drop the jar-file into WEB-INF/lib,
restart his web-container and your components are available.

forgot to mention, my sourceforge name is werpu12

done. Welcome on board.

Thanks for the note, I guess I will use SF until the sandbox is ready,
that gives me a little bit of feedback on the areas which I can improve
regarding the hooks into myfaces and generally will get me a grip
on the whole build process in this project without dumping everything
at me at once.
Thanks for opening a sandbox, I am sure this will add a lot of momentum
to the project.
Generally thanks for all the work you guys already have put in, I stepped
a few times into the framework, and the amount of work which already
went in there is huge if you just count the number of classes.

FYI we are making progress on the myfaces sandbox. If you have
something to contribute and you don't want to refactor package names,
etc. just hold off for no more than 2-3 weeks when the entire svn
reorg is done.
Feel free to use SF if that is your preference. Just letting you know
that a MyFaces home for these types of components is coming soon.

Thanks I will add the descriptor missing files tomorrow evening for the
jar libs and hopefulle will have the first code in the repository by
tomorrow.

Re: new components

Hi, I wanted to give you a short notice, that I dumped the
first two components into the sourceforge project.
Self coloring input components, one with and the other without client
side non blocking validation.
Perfect for the average input form.
I created a basic structure for future things to come.
You can find the component pack in the jar file located in the bin
dir and an example under src/web
dump both files into a myfaces project and you are set.
The sources can be found under the net.sf hierarchy of the source folder.
I have no build files yet due to time constraints, and I dont have put a
fully working webapp on the sourceforge site, because I dont wanna run
into any licensing issues.
But besides that have much fun with toying around with it,
more things (and more complicated controls) will follow the following
days and weeks.
(feel free to alter the structure of things and the dir structure)
Bear in mind, that I am rather new to myfaces and have a limited
knowledge of the internals of myfaces currently, so there are definitely
things which can be done by a few simple hooks into myfaces, which I
probably did to complicated, so constructive criticism is welcome.
The sources will be moved into the myfaces sandbox as soon as it is open.
