Tomahawk's enabledOnUserRole attribute and Clay

[Richard Eggert <re...@proteus-technologies.com>]

Perhaps I'm overlooking something here, but from the testing I did this afternoon, it appears that the "enabledOnUserRole" attribute provided with most of Tomahawk's components doesn't work at all in Clay HTML templates.  However, it does work properly when I use straight JSP/JSF without Clay (at least most of the time, anyway; t:commandButton seems to have issues with it).

I have an HTML template that contains an element that looks something like the following:

<input 
   type="checkbox" 
   jsfid="t:selectBooleanCheckbox" 
   value="#{mybean.myflag}" 
   enabledOnUserRole="myrole" 
/>

When I view the page while logged in as a user that does not have the "myrole" role, the checkbox is still enabled, and I can use it to toggle the corresponding flag in the underlying bean.  Thinking that it might be a problem with the implicit mapping of the <input> element, I tried changing the HTML element to just a <span> tag (with attributes set as above, minus the type="checkbox" part), to no avail.

I also tried setting enabledOnUserRole for a textarea, and it didn't work correctly there, either.

visibleOnUserRole seems to work just fine, though.

Any ideas on this, or should I post it to JIRA?


For reference, I'm using MyFaces 1.1.4, Tomahawk 1.1.3, and Shale 1.0.4.
