Hi, in order to avoid dependency to h:head/body/form BUT be able to support the "Relocatable Resources" feature, we should change our renderers for "head", "body" and "form" to check for any component resource(s) that has been targeted to one of these guys.
This would mean that something like this just works: <tr:document xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"; xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"; xmlns:tr="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad"; title="TESTER of Scripts"> <h:outputScript target="body" name="myCoolBody.js"/> <h:outputScript target="head" name="anAwesomeHead.js"/> </tr:document> ==> no need to add the nasty h:head/body. The call inside of the renderer should be fairly simple: ... for(UIComponent comp : context.getViewRoot().getComponentResources(context, "head")) { comp.encodeAll(context); } ... Note: We need to render out these resources pretty much BEFORE we end the particular HTML element (e.g. "head", "body" or "form")... In order to avoid duplicated code, I think we want to add a utility which should be called from particular renderers, like on CoreRenderer.java (part of the Trinidad API). This would allow extensions to easily use this new API as well... suggested change to CoreRenderer.java => /** * Hook for rendering the component resources for the <code>target</code>. * @param context Current <code>FacesContext</code> object for this request. * @param target The target for the resources (e.g. head/body/form) * * @throws IOException */ protected final void encodeComponentResources( FacesContext context, String target) throws IOException { if(target != null) { UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot(); for(UIComponent componentResource : viewRoot.getComponentResources(context, target)) { componentResource.encodeAll(context); } } } As a matter of fact the HeadRenderer's encodeEnd() method would simply look like: protected void encodeEnd( FacesContext context, RenderingContext arc, UIComponent comp, FacesBean bean) throws IOException { ResponseWriter rw = context.getResponseWriter(); // trigger the rendering of targeted resource // for the HEAD, on UIViewRoot - if there are // any... encodeComponentResources(context, "head"); rw.endElement("head"); } -Matthias -- Matthias Wessendorf blog: http://matthiaswessendorf.wordpress.com/ sessions: http://www.slideshare.net/mwessendorf twitter: http://twitter.com/mwessendorf
