JSF 1.2 custom component

[Matthieu <be...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am thinking of creating a component that would do the same job as a
h:inputText and a h:commandLink together into a form.
So i thought i could implement it that way:
In my renderer encodeBegin() function, i would add to the uiComponent given
as a parameter the two components i need, i-e inputText and commandLink.

but i'm not too sure of how the values i'll need will be put back where i
need them when the user will submit the form.
So, how do i make sure JSF or i can retrieve the value given to my children,
and put it back into the right field of my own custom component ?


PS: I could do a facelet but this leaves all CSS rules behind; and i wish
my css rules gets embedded in the header rather than in style attributes.
And i am stuck with JSF 1.2...

Hi,

You need to use the decode() method of the renderer of your component
to get the value into the component.

Maybe this [1] online tutorial for creating a JSF component can help
you (unfortunately it's in German only).
