[trinidad] How could I add a component to org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.core Renderkit

[Leonardo Uribe <lu...@gmail.com>]

Hi

After several hour trying over and over again I can't find a way to add a
component to this renderkit.
All attempts to define this fails (if I try, this definition overrides the
previous and all trinidad components are not rendered).

Checking trinidad code it use a very strange way to define this (using a
file different of faces-config.xml).

any suggestions?

regards

when you add a new component, you create metadata for the component
(in the "...faces-plugin/components/..." folder).
You also create a renderer, incase there is something to render for
the component. The
renderer itself is handwritten, but you also have to specify metadata
for this renderer in "...faces-plugin/renderers/..." folder.

For Trinidad's InputText the InputText.xml file looks like:
...
<faces-config version="1.2" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
              xmlns:mfp="http://myfaces.apache.org/maven-faces-plugin">
  <render-kit>
    <render-kit-id>org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.core</render-kit-id>
    <renderer>
      <component-family>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Input</component-family>
      <renderer-type>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.Text</renderer-type>
      <renderer-class>org.apache.myfaces.trinidadinternal.renderkit.core.xhtml.InputTextRenderer</renderer-class>
      <renderer-extension>
        <mfp:component-type>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CoreInputText</mfp:component-type>
      </renderer-extension>
    </renderer>
  </render-kit>
</faces-config>

that's where you provide the hook for the RK.
