help with renderer implementation

[Michael Concini <mc...@gmail.com>]

I'm currently working on implementing the renderers for UIOutcomeTarget 
for the JSF 2.0 spec and need some help in figuring out how the builder 
is performing the code generation for other components so I can then 
create my own. 

So far, I've written the following classes for 
org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.renderkit.html to handle the 
encoding/decoding:
HtmlOutcomeTargetRendererBase - parent class to handle common actions 
for both buttons and links (e.g. calling into getBookmarkableURL, etc)
HtmlOutcomeTargetLinkRendererBase - bookmarable link renderer
HtmlOutcomeTargetButtonRendererBase - bookmarkable button renderer

What I need some assistance with is the builder plugin work.  I see 
several potential places where I'd need to implement code, but its hard 
to tell what is really necessary, what might be generated in addition to 
the javax.faces.component.html classes, and what may be remnants of 
older versions of myfaces.

There are builder xml files:
src/main/resources/META-INF/maven-faces-plugin/components/javax/faces/html/Html<component>*.xml
src/main/resources/META-INF/maven-faces-plugin/renderers/javax/faces/html/Html<component>.xml

annotated impl files:
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.Html<component>Renderer

and there are also tag related classes:
org.apache.myfaces.taglib.html.Html<component>Tag
org.pache.myfaces.shared_impl.taglib.html.Html<component>ELTagBase

Is there someone who has worked on this before who could help me out 
with how to do this?  Is there a step by step documented somewhere?  I 
did some searches on the myfaces wiki and was unable to find anything 
that was much help. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for the link.  I was looking for something like this in the wiki 
instead of the main site.  I'll take a look through the linked pages and 
let you know if I have any more questions or if I find any missing docs.

Hi

The documentation of myfaces-builder-plugin, is available here:

http://myfaces.apache.org/build-tools/plugins/myfaces-builder-plugin/index.html

Let me know if there is something missing.

"build" module is not used anymore (belongs to maven-faces-plugin and it is
not used anymore).

My guess is leonardo is the correct person to approach, he has worked on 
the builder plugins, afair!
