Hi!
ok - then please suggest one. This is all about finding a clean way,
and we are at this point as we haven't found another clean way to do
it so far.
I had a quick chat about this topic with Matthias and I think now I
understood a little bit better what the thought how to work with the
generator stuff.
The idea is (as everyone migh know) to generate the config files/taglibs
and (the discussed) component. Matthias said, that one normally does NOT
have to change this class as the real work has to be done in the renderer.
I am not fully convinced about that, but have to admit that I am not a
full-blown-component developer - just some small pieces now and then.
I told him that I think the component logic should live within the
component - where he didnt disagree, but also pointed me to the fact
that one can always have a abstract base renderer where the common code
might live. I think that this not fully in sync with the component idea,
but might work.
In the end, it seems as if you could create 95% of all components
without having to touch the generated class - as long as you just work
with the renderer classes.
Which means, no need for generating an abstract basis class.
I am not sure if I like this "standard", but wanted to write this as I
think it helps to understand what the idea was/is behind all this.
Sorry Matthias if I made some mistake in the summarize and probably
misinterpreted one detail or another. But I think overall it is correct.
Ciao,
Mario
