Just a follow-up on my findings so far... I liked very much the template based approach of DojoFaces http://www.dojofaces.org/ and it looks to me I can continue using the things I like in Trinidad (Dialogs, etc.) in conjunction with DojoFaces components without problems. Best regards, Walter

Hi Walter, Just my $0.02 here, but at my company we've been using Trinidad for 2 years now, and for one of our product we included DojoFaces (we needed the autoSuggest component). We eventually backpedalled and rewrote our own autosuggest component based on Trinidad + facelets, and use sometimes

Totally Werner. I suspect we'll add cases as needed in order to accommodate the entire tech stack for MyFaces. Okay, let me see if I can get an initial drop of code put somewhere and we can go from there. Scott On Mar 16, 2011, at 3:20 AM, Werner Punz werner.p...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Scott,

Hi Scott, MyFaces in its core _Runtime.js also uses some inheritance framework, you basically currently get single inheritance, namespacing singletons and delegation. What I have not provided yet due to the lack of need is mixins. Also I have code to lazy load scripts etc... I coded it because

Hi Scott, I know Oracle, for instance, has a very large renderkit extension which is based on Trinidad Internals. Now it's mostly geared toward support of web business applications, but it really shows what can be done with the framework. Do you mean ADF Rich Faces ? Why do you say it's

Yes, ADF Faces. The two share a similar API but ADFFces is much more rich. It has animations, push technologies, and some other things. The client-side JavaScript has been re-engineered as well and while it uses Trinidad as the foundation, there is a lot more on the client side. Suffice to

Hi, we are very interested, btw. we probably have to read our own parts for the inheritance stuff, because we use inheritance, delegation and singletons as structural core patterns ourselves in the core. So if the tool needs meta information in this regard we will have to readd our own

Very good points Leonardo, and your right about Trinidad's parser. I do know that I've seen some stuff in-house which generates javascriptDoc and even does auditing. Let me check to see if it's something we can donate or if it's too specific to our legacy code.. On Mar 10, 2011, at 10:35 AM,
