[Trinidad] Feedback for Trinidad-2144: NumberConverter format hint changes
Hi everyone, I have some suggestions for changing the numberConverter's format hint which I would like to hear your feedback on. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TRINIDAD-2144 Currently the numberConverter provides a hint using the converter's pattern like this: "Sample pattern: ##.##". In particular, it follows JDK DecimalFormat's convention when the pattern is locale-independent, .ie "." as decimal separator and "," as grouping-separator. This has the following issues which could confuse users - It does not check if the trinidad-config parameters decimal-separator, number-grouping-separator are set. http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/devguide/configuration.html#trinidad-config.xml - It does not substitute the locale-specific character Therefore, I suggest the following. 1. Introduce two new trinidad-config parameters for currency-decimal-separator, currency-number-grouping-separator This is because some locales have different conventions for decimal separator when inside a currency. If not set, default to decimal/grouping-separator values. 2. If no parameters set in trinidad-config, substitute the locale-specific decimal/grouping separators. 3. Use a sample number instead of presenting the pattern, e.g. "Sample pattern: 12,34" instead of "Sample pattern: ##.##". Does anyone have feedback on suggestions #1, 2, 3? Thank you, Yee-Wah
Re: Do Trinidad Tables update with new rows in PartialSubmit if a CommandButton outside table does the adding of rows?
Catherine, If the table has partialTriggers pointing to the command button, it should work just fine. I would check two things: 1) is your partial trigger Id set correctly, i.e do you need to do something like stepping out of the naming container, etc.?; 2) do you see table's HTML included in partial response when you use HTTP sniffing tools like Firebug? Max On 4/26/2011 2:31 PM, Catherine Rocchio wrote: Hi there, I am trying to achieve a Partial Submit update of a Trinidad Table upon submit of a Command Button (called "Add Row"). The bean behind the table is definitely getting updated because when I do an overall page refresh, I see my new rows getting added - but I can't seem to get the table to refresh on its own with the partialTriggers on it. So.. I guess my question is - should something like this work? Or.. do tables need to be programmatically poked for partial submits? This seems pretty basic - but - it just isn't working for me. I guess I will feel better if I know it SHOULD work - and I will keep trying. I am using Trinidad 2 and Myfaces 2. Sorry Thanks for help! Catherine My addAction is just boring - but adds a row to a vector which is behind the table. public void addAction(ActionEvent event) { wprolelist.add(new RoleList("test person", "True", "True", "True")); } And my table has the specification of the partialTrigger.
Re: My Faces Tunning
Hello David, One easy way to get the page size is to use a browser plugin like Firebug or HttpWatch. They'll show you all of the requests for a particular page and how large they are. Chrome and Safari have decent tools built-in. Obviously this won't work for every single page, but it'll give you an idea if you look at some of your slowest pages. --- Kito D.

RE: My Faces Tunning
Each page is different of course, some have lots of parts where others are straight forward. We are using myFaces 1.1.7 and Tomahawk 1.1.5. Is there a way to capture how large each page is after it has been compiled and rendered? -Original Message- From: Kito Mann [mailto:kito.m...@virtua.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2011 11:31 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: My Faces Tunning Hello David, How large are your pages?

RE: My Faces Tunning
Mark, Can you tell me what application server you are using? Are you using any session replication and if so what kind? What OS are you using? Are you using Session Affinity? What JSF implementation are you using? We are using myFaces 1.1.7 and Tomahawk 1.1.5 (old and not able to upgrade at this point).

Re: is i18n messages suppose to be html escaped?
oh and in addition to the inconsistency between the 2 example strings, I just checked, to the best of my knowledge #{msg.foo} is a short cut for outputText tag, The outputText tag, according to the jsf javadocs, says it is "true" by default. So, if that's true, shouldn't " be escaped to " by default? or are " special for some reason?
