| [wtp-jsf-dev] Review of Facets in the JSF Tools Project and the Dali project.. |
|
Hi Konstantin, I would like your help to review the use of facets by the
JSF Tools Project. The bugzilla entry, JSF Registry Should
Be Facets - 145677 tracks the discussion on this issue. Background: The JSF Tools project has added the 'JSF Facet ' to WTP. You
need to add this facet to a Dynamic Web project to use the JSF Tools
capabilities. When you add a JSF Facet to a project, you are prompted to add
'JSF Libraries' to the project. A JSF Library is a named collection of jars
similar to the JDT User library. These jars are added to the build path and
optionally deployed to the Server. A Dynamic Web Project that has the JSF Facet
has a property page called the JSF Library reference. This allows you to modify
the JSF Libraries on the project. Issue: The use of the property page to modify the libraries on the
project is not correct. These should be done through the Facet add/remove
mechanism. It was suggested that there should be a modify option form the
Project Facet property page that should be used to achieve the above
functionality. More info: You can download the 0.5 release of the JSF Tools project
from here:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R1.5/R-1.5.0-200606281455/ Download and un-zip the WTP ALL-IN-ONE zip Download and un-zip JavaServer Faces package at bottom of
the same page The build includes a User guide that has a tutorial under
the Getting Started section. The User guide also include a topic on JSF Facets
under the Concept section. Please let me know if you can participate in a conference
call on Monday, 10/2 at 11.00 AM PDT. This is our monthly status call. We can
start the Facet discussion at 11.15, right after the status review. Thanks Raghu Srinivasan Project Lead – JSF Tools Project |
