[Shale] Having a static HTML inside a dynamic HTML page
I was wondering whether there is a way to instruct clay to ignore some tags and just render them the way they are. For example, I am using FORM based authentication. I dont want clay to change anything in my login.html. What I did is I changed login.html to login.htm and by passed Clay. It worked great. But now I want to add a logout button in login.htm and tie to a listener. I am not sure how I could do it. Is there anyway I could do something like this, span jfcid=bypass !-- login form -- /span input type=submit value=logout/ !-- This will be attached to the listener --

The comment !-- -- block is the only way to do this currently.
I think this would be a good feature. I'll try to get it in soon.

You can use an action listener method binding expression.
input type=submit value=logout
actionListener=#{managed-bean-name.saveAction} /
An action listener object can only be registred with a component using the XML
config.
input type=submit value=logout jsfid=mybutton /
component jsfid=myListener componentType=com.acme.MyListener /
component jsfid=mybutton extends=commandButton
actionListener jsfid=myListener/
/component
I added a third *extreme* HTML full view rolodex example last night. It
defines the page using HTML and the default component definitions (no extra XML
required).

Re: [Shale] Having a static HTML inside a dynamic HTML page
Gary thanks for ur reply.
The problem is I want LoginForm action to be j_acegi_security_check
form action=j_acegi_security_check method=POST
/form
The only I could make it render this way is my bypassing clay. But for my
logout button,
input type=submit value=logout jsfid=mybutton / I need to go thru Clay
:(

I like your idea about creating a bypass or clayIgnore block. It would be
a new feature. I'll see if I can get that done.
I can think of a way to handle today as a compromise. You could load a
document into a jsf outputText component using the shape validator. Maybe
something like this:
-- html
!-- inserting a vanilla form here --
span jsfid=clayInclude url=/login.htm managedBeanName=mybean
shapeValidator=#{managed-bean-name.includeLoginForm} /
-- xml def (metadata attributes that are not component properties end up in
the attributes map)
component jsfid=clayInclude extends=clay
attributes
set name=url /
/attributes
/component
-- managed bean
mybean:
public void includeLoginForm(FacesContext context, UIComponent clay, Object
displayElement) {
ComponentBea root = (ComponentBean) displayElement;
//make the root a verbatim component
root.setComponentType(javax.faces.HtmlOutputText);
String url = (String) clay.getAttributes().get(url);
//use the external context to load a file into a buffer
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
InputStream in = context.getExternalContext().getResourceAsStream(url);
read file into buffer ...
//include the payload as a value attribute
AttributeBean attr = new AttributeBean();
attr.setName(value);
attr.setValue(buff.toString());
root.addAttribute(attr);
//leave the html special chars
attr = new AttributeBean();
attr.setName(escape);
attr.setValue(Boolean.FALSE.toString());
root.addAttribute(attr);
//don't cache server side state for the monster
attr = new AttributeBean();
attr.setName(isTransient);
attr.setValue(Boolean.TRUE.toString());
root.addAttribute(attr);
}
I think that something simple like this might be good in the Clay baseline.

Re: [Shale] Having a static HTML inside a dynamic HTML page
Thanx Gary for your help.
Yah bypass or clayignore block will be useful feature. Thanx for taking
the initiative.
About your other solution, I will try it tonite and let you know how it
goes.
