Dear Wiki user,

The following page has been changed by AdamWiner:
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/Trinidad_JSF12_Support

New page:
= Introduction =

Trinidad is still based on JSF 1.1, and takes no advantages of any of JavaEE 5 - JSF 1.2 and JSP 2.1 as the highlights.  However, a branch of the code is based on JSF 1.2.

== Getting the JSF 1.2 branch ==

The latest JSF 1.2 branch is at 

http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/adffaces/branches/faces-1_2-061113/

So, to download and build:

{{{
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/adffaces/branches/faces-1_2-061113/ trinidad1_2
cd trinidad1_2
cd plugins
mvn install
cd ..
cd trinidad
mvn install
}}}

== Status of the JSF 1.2 branch ==

Largely complete.  The code supports invokeOnComponent(), all the tags are based on JSP 2.1 (and use ValueExpressions and MethodExpressions), etc.

Some tasks could be taken on:

 * Use the name StateManager APIs instead of the deprecated ones

== When will the JSF 1.2 branch become trunk? ==

(Adam Winer) - my current thinking is that this should happen when MyFaces switches their trunk to JSF 1.2.  We should continue to keep around a JSF 1.1 branch.
