Include a component-class and a page-class in the library and application
specification DTDs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TAPESTRY-919
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TAPESTRY-919
Project: Tapestry
Type: Improvement
Components: Framework
Versions: 4.0.2
Reporter: Leonardo Quijano Vincenzi
Priority: Minor
This could be a useful shortcut for those of us that use annotations, but for
some reason can't specify a single page class search path. The library and
application specification DTDs include the <component-type> and the <page> to
allow the developer to set a specification file for a component or page.
If the developer is using annotations instead of specification files, he has no
choice other than to do one of the following:
a) Create an empty specification file for the component.
b) Define a set of "directory classes" for pages in the
org.apache.tapestry.page-class-packages variable.
Now,
(a) has the drawback of forcing the developer to include an empty file
(clutter) for every page or component he develops.
(b) has the drawback that it's very imprecise, specially for components.
Sometimes the developer already know the specific component class he's using
(and he could even want to leverage the refactoring help that IDEs like Eclipse
provide), and specifying a "search path" is cumbersome at best.
Then, my idea is to add an optional "component-class" and "page-class"
attribute to the "component-type" and "page" elements, as this:
<component-type type="SomeComponent" component-class="foo.bar.SomeComponent" />
or
<page name="SomePage" page-class="foo.bar.SomePage" />
