Hi Blake,

I'm + 1 with the idea and the general

+1 good idea!

API, but I have some concerns:
I don't really like the API to expose a read only map through WindowManager.getWindows, I would prefer WindowManager.getWindowIds(ExternalContext) and WindowManager.getWindow(E

I like these two methods

xternalContext, String);
WindowListener should be an interface extending EventListener one of its subclasses; Either WindowListener or WindowLifecycleEvent is wrongly named from a JSF point of view (althoguh it could be potentially correctly named in Swing). All JSF Listener handle events with the exact same name as the listener, but with Listener changed to Event, so it should either be WindowLifecycleListener or WindowEvent for the API to be coherent with the usual JSF nomenclature. WindowListener method is not properly named. Pretty much as above, in JSF all listener methods are called process<evenType> so it should either be public void processWindowEvent or processWindowLifecycleEventdepending on the resolution of the previous point; The process method parameters do not match the usual listener convention to receive a single event object. Would it be possible to place the ExternalContext instance in the event? I would prefer to see WindowManager.isCurrentWindowNew as Window.isNew, it's more OOP correct;
I agree

-M


Actually I would prefer the same for the add/get/removeWindowListener

Add Window abstraction to Trinidad
----------------------------------

                Key: TRINIDAD-1474
                URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-1474
            Project: MyFaces Trinidad
         Issue Type: New Feature
         Components: Archetype
   Affects Versions:  1.2.12-core
        Environment: All
           Reporter: Blake Sullivan


Add Window abstraction to Trinidad. Currently, Trinidad knows nothing of the separate browser Windows that make up a browser session. This causes weird problems. For example, the state management token cache is shared across all of the active windows with a simple LRU. If the user opens up two windows and operates on one window long enough, he will cause the token state for the original window to be purged. When the user switches back to the original window and POSTs back, the token won't be found, Trinidad will assume that this is because the session expired, and the user will be given an error.

Adding the concept of a Window and a Window lifecyle opens up the following capabilities: 1) Correct handling of per-window UI state by segregating tokens by window 2) Early clean-up of UI state by aggressively purging state for closed windows 3) Applications can manager per-window state by listening for window lifecycle events 4) Sessions can be cleaned up earlier by terminating the session when the last window in the session is closed 5) A window scope can be implemented to ease using per-window state with EL 6) A window manager implementation can hide the details of handling control-N in the browser
