Hey everyone, the long awaited myfaces-commons-configurator package is
ready to be checked in. Because I'm seeing a lot of people doing things
that might be aided by this framework, I was hoping I could check it
into the commons project and get people to help me test it and fix it
up. Do people think it would be of value checking this in before I've
been able to put any real testing into it or would you rather me wait?
*What is the Configurator System?
*You've probably seen me talk about it in many threads before. It's a
configurationless system for executing initialization, teardown, and
request/response wrapping within a JSF environment without the use of
filters. In addition to not requiring any configuration in the web.xml,
because it does not require the use of filters, the system is compatible
with both portlets and servlets. The primary example for this is for
file uploads, but Trinidad uses it for many other things as well
including skin handling and PPR.
*What's not included?
*
Currently I do not have the multi-part form (file-upload) configurator
complete although I intend on including that in the base package as an
option that can be enabled. This will allow renderkits, like Trinidad
and Tobago, to share handling of the multi-part form while still being
able to use their own components.
**No tests or testing
No demos currently
So are people willing to help with the development of this code or
should I try to get it into a more final state?
Scott
