Hi!
This is, indeed, a compatibility issue. However, I assume it's caused
because you did not use the decorator pattern when you applied your
custom Application implementation, so now you're inheriting from the
default implementation method behavior, which is to throw an
UnsupportedOperationException.
Sure, but what can I do other than from inherit from
javax.faces.application.Application? I am not aware of any other wrapper
class.
I have to simple classes:
public class OrchestraApplicationFactory extends ApplicationFactory
{
private final ApplicationFactory original;
public OrchestraApplicationFactory(ApplicationFactory original)
{
public class OrchestraApplication extends Application
{
private final Application original;
public OrchestraApplication(Application original)
{
this.original = original;
}
with implementing all the JSF 1.1 stuff and dispatch to this orignial
implementation. The factory simply create the application from the
original factory and wraps it using the OrchestraApplication.
I dont see how I can create a JSF 1.2 compatible Application with just
the JSF 1.1 libs.
So, I'd say upward API compatibility is broken here.
I call that a backward compatibility issue, since you're trying to
execute an application developed with an older API with a newer version.
Hehe - ok - I wont stress this :-)
Ciao,
Mario
