[Trinidad] iphone JSP components

[VISTICOT FREDERIC <Fr...@alcatel-lucent.fr>]

I would like to create a set of JSF components for JSF.

I think that trinidad as a very good support for skining and i would
like to use it.

 

What is the best solution to use trinidad to build JSF components for
iphone ?

 

1. Using current renderer and add new components with dedicated skins

Would it work (PPR, css) due to safari browser on iphone ?

 

2. Creating a new renderkit + components (core, html, htmlbasic, uix,
iphone)

I think, it is the good approach but where can i find some information
regarding creating a new renderkit with trinidad ?

I have allready created renderkit but on top of basic core jsf not on
top of trinidad...

I try to read the trinidad source code but it seems not so easy...
(RenderKitDecorator, RenderkitBase...) can you provide me some support ?

How to use the skining feature when creating new renderkit ? is it
allready provided by trinidad base renderKit.

Will PPR feature usable (XMLHTTP request and safari) ??

 

Of course, in both case it would be possible to reuse iphone css
projects (iui, UiUIKit)

 

Tx for you help.

 

Fred

For new components maybe:
trinidad/trinidad-sandbox/iphone-components/...projects...

For existing components, with different renderers, there is already
PDA support, so you could probably look at that code to see how it
works to be able to help write the renderers to render the components
in a more iPhone friendly manner.

Yes. iPhone safari supports AJAX and CSS. It isn't safari 3.0, but not
too much behind. I am not sure how compatible the Trinidad PPR code is
with the iPhone, anyone know from experience?

Shouldn't be necessary with the architecture of Trinidad

You don't need a new renderkit, but rather support for a different set
of renderers for that platform I think. Check out the PDA support.

Yes, but as I said above, I am not sure if the Trinidad PPR has been
well tested on the mobile safari yet.
