[JSF] how to "enable" facelets for my jsf component

[Daniel Niklas <co...@dniklas.de>]

Hi,

i can't get my jsf component to work within a facelets environment. I took
the example of Bruno Aranda, a kind of hello world example
(http://brunoaranda.googlepages.com/jsfcomponentsarchetype2).

This works for me with jsps. When i switch to facelets, i get the following
warnings and nothing of my 
component is rendered:

16.05.2008 16:38:58 org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlRenderKitImpl
getRenderer
WARNUNG: Unsupported component-family/renderer-type:
javax.faces.Output/daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI
2008-05-16 16:38:58.055:/standard-test-facelets-jsf:INFO:  No Renderer found
for component {Component-Path : [Class:
javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: /example-1.xhtml][Class:
javax.faces.component.html.HtmlForm,Id:
mainForm][Class:daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI,Id: _id5]}
(component-family=javax.faces.Output,
renderer-type=daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI)

For facelets i added a mycomp.facelets.xml (into META-INF):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">

<facelet-taglib>
	<namespace>http://daniel.de/jsfcomponents</namespace>

	<tag>
		<tag-name>sayHello</tag-name>
		<component>
			<component-type>
				daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI
			</component-type>
			<renderer-type>
				daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI
			</renderer-type>
		</component>
	</tag>
</facelet-taglib>

What's wrong here?

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi David,

sorry, only know it was possible to look at this/my problem, thanks for your
answer.

As i mentioned, the "jps-stuff" works already, the component rendering is
correct and no warnings were printed out. My suspicion was, that there is
something wrong with the "facelets-stuff", but sadly I couldn't see this.

My fault was, that i put the component-type to the renderer-type, as well
(in taglib.xml for facelets).
The correct facelets-configuration for my example must be:

	<tag>
		<tag-name>sayHello</tag-name>
		<component>
			<component-type>
				daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloUI
			</component-type>
			<renderer-type>
				daniel.test.lab.jsf.mycomponents.hello.SayHelloRenderer
			</renderer-type>
		</component>
	</tag>

You're right, this is my opinion, too. But this was the "best" example i
could find. 
I didn't use the archetype etc. Today i found another "check list" at 
http://blogs.steeplesoft.com/jsf-component-writing-check-list/. I think,
this
is quite helpful.

Best regards
Daniel

You need more than just the facelet-taglib support.  There's integral
stuff that has to go into the code before it's usable.

This message indicates that you are not returning a valid component
and/or renderer type from the component body tag.  The values returned
from the getRendererType() and getComponentType() methods are used as
lookups against the faces-config.xml and taglib.xml files in the
component jar file.

Bruno's article talks about both of the files and what needs to go into
them, but it looks like you're still missing some pieces...

Personally I didn't use archetype for our JSF/Facelets components.  They
are really simple to hand-code, and (outside of standard method
overrides) there's not a whole lot of boilerplate code that I can see
archetype saving you much time on.

And I still can't get away from the belief that w/o hand coding things
like this you'll never make heads or tails out of code generated by a
tool on your behalf...
