[shale] Clay - Logic components?

[Alexandre Poitras <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am wondering right now how is it possible to generate a dynamic data
list component (dl) since no faces package offer it. First, I taught
no problem, Clay solves this situation quite easily but right now I am
stuck. I don't know how to make a loop to render all list elements.
Tapestry offers the forEach component to solve this problem. Is Shale
going to go this way too? Gary any suggestions?

I think they are quite the same cases, the second one being a subset of the
former.

I think there may be two issues being discussed here.

Are we talking about a dynamic subtree based on a for loop, or static
subtree that is rendered multiple times?

Yeah but this type of list is not supported unfortunately. I guess I will
have to create a new display for the list component.

But I still think forEach component is a must when you need to create a new
component wich is just an aggreation of some other components.It's a good
mean to provide an easy and fast way to developpers to create simple panels
without having to write all the Java code and understand the JSF API
necessary to create custom components.

The right long term answer to this kind of question would be to find a JSF
Data List component that does what you want ... then, all you'd need to do
is write the Clay definition for it.  Doesn't Tomahawk (from MyFaces) have a
component like that?
