ProcessTrainRenderer (pda vs. desktop renderers?)
Hello,
I have merged the current ProcessRenderer.java (under 'adf-faces-impl\...\renderkit\uix') and ProcessTrainRenderer.java (under 'adf-faces-impl\...\ui\laf\base\pda\desktop') into one single renderer implementation under 'adf-faces-impl\...\renderkit\core\xhtml\ProcessTrainRenderer.java' that extends the XhtmlRenderer.
I noticed that there are currently 2 implementations for ProcessTrainRenderer (under ui\laf\base\pda and ui\laf\base\pda\desktop) for different renderkits, I assume?
Should I create a pda renderer in addition to the desktop version I have created, and put them under 'renderkit\core\pda' and 'renderkit\core\desktop" resp.?
Thanks

Hello Simon,
Yes, I have started on this and will deliver the changes by mid-week, latest eow.
Thanks

Hello,
Thank for your reply. I already started, but I'm not very far into it since I'm on another project at the same time. Personally I think I could have it done by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. If you plan to be almost done by then as well then I should indeed start working on something else.

Hello,
I have a task lined up to convert the existing Trinidad processTrain renderer to a "faces major" version. And I plan to do it the following week. If you haven't already started it I would be happy to work on it. I plan to deliver it in 2 phases.
For phase 1, I simply plan to get the renderer to render the current layout and in the second phase add the extra skinning selectors that you requested.
If it's simple enough I can deliver both changes in one shot. Is that acceptable?
Thanks

Hello,
Thank for the reply. I don't mind creating a new Renderer that extends XhtmlRenderer. However, I have a little question about the FacesBean.Type that I must specify to the constructor. I checked InputTextRenderer and saw that it was using CoreInputText.TYPE. That class seems to be automatically generated so I assume there's a XML file somewhere from which the .java is generated? Is that faces-config.xml, the .tld? A completely different one ? Where can I find it?
Thanks,

These look good to me. One thing that's important: we really need a Faces-major version of this renderer - that is, instead of one that is in the "org.apache.myfaces.adfinternal.ui" package, one that is in "org.apache.myfaces.adfinternal.renderkit.core.xhtml".
Everything in "ui" is obsolete (oooold UIX-based code), and a major technical goal of the project is to delete "ui" and "uinode" from the Apache Trinidad codebase. So, -1 to adding this feature to the old renderer, +1 to adding it to a new renderer.
I'm more than happy to provide lots of details on how to write a new-style renderer, though you can look at the existing examples for a pretty good clue how it works.

Re: ProcessTrainRenderer (pda vs. desktop renderers?)
Posted by Adam Winer <aw...@gmail.com>.
Pavitra,
I haven't looked at these classes in a loooong while.
The general strategy is to avoid creating PDA-specific subclasses,
and instead add skinning keys or CSS classes to discriminate between
the two. That works when the differences are fairly minor tweaks, esp.
sizing.
However, looking at these classes now, it looks like the PDA
is radically different - much much simpler. If your merged class
is basically a big "if desktop, use one code path, if PDA, use
a separate codepath", then it's better to just split them into
two classes and be done with it.
