[ANNOUNCE] release of myfaces commons 1.0.2

2011-10-19 Thread Leonardo Uribe
The Apache MyFaces team is pleased to announce the release of
Apache MyFaces Commons 1.0.2.

This project contains non-renderkit-specific code that can be used with any
myfaces jsf framework.

MyFaces Commons 1.0.2 is available in both binary and source distributions.

* http://myfaces.apache.org/commons/download.html

Apache MyFaces Commons is available in the central Maven repository under
Group ID "org.apache.myfaces.commons".

Release Notes - MyFaces Commons - Version 1.0.2

Bug

* [MFCOMMONS-27] - CLONE - Its not possible to change the summary/
detail message of a ParametrizableFacesMessage
* [MFCOMMONS-32] - mcv:validateCompareTo uses "for" attribute to
identify the target component, but JSF 2.0 facelets reserves that
property name for composite components
* [MFCOMMONS-34] - HTML class should declare constants
* [MFCOMMONS-37] - Extended ResourceHandler should be configured
after all other wrappers, to be the first one when a request is
processed
* [MFCOMMONS-38] - Resource ending with .css is not processed for
value expressions when gzip compression is enabled and cache disk is
true

Improvement

* [MFCOMMONS-30] - Change URL management of Advanced JSF 2 ResourceHandler
* [MFCOMMONS-35] - Move some utility methods from shared to commons
* [MFCOMMONS-36] - MyFaces Commons ResourceHandler should allow
configuration /javax.faces.resource or
ResourceHandler#RESOURCE_IDENTIFIER through a web config param

New Feature

* [MFCOMMONS-29] - Advanced JSF 2 ResourceHandler

Task

* [MFCOMMONS-33] - Extended ResourceHandler implementation

Enjoy!

[Trinidad] Feedback for Trinidad-2144: NumberConverter format hint changes

2011-10-19 Thread Yee-Wah Lee

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?

2011-10-19 Thread Max Starets

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?

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.

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.

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?

How large are your pages? Do you have several tabs each with nested tabs

RE: My Faces Tunning

2011-10-19 Thread Boyd, David (Corporate)
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).

Thanks

+1 mem is barely a problem these days.

Actually we are serving 60.000++ users per day without any mem problems (w 100 
views/session ServerSide-StateSaving).
We need some low GB mem on our 48GB RAM server...

Even if you have 1MB of session mem per user then you can serve tons of users.

Re: is i18n messages suppose to be html escaped?

2011-10-19 Thread Ted
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?
