[shale] Dialog question

[Sean Schofield <se...@gmail.com>]

Craig,

Great job on the new dialog stuff!  Also I like the nightly builds of
the usecases app because it allows users to check out what you're up
to without hassling with Ant, etc.

I am still digesting all of the changes but I have an initial
question.  From the javadoc it sounds like the dialog process is
initiated when a navigation outcome of "dialog:xxx" is encountered. 
I'm probably missing something here but how would that work if you
wanted your dialog to be in a "popup window?"  Would I have to
customize DialogNavigationHandler further or can that be handled
through a standard JSF mechanism that I am missing?

Regards,
sean

Thanks ... that's very much the idea.

That is currently the only mechanism to do so.  I *think* it will be
sufficient, but that remains to be seen with use cases.

I'm not sure why this is a different scenario?  If you do a typical
form submit, to an action method that returns "dialog:xxx" as its
outcome, *and* the submit button had a "target" attribute, don't you
get the new dialog running in a popup?
