I picked up JSF today, never having touched JSF in the first place.
So far, struts faces seems fine, but as far as the JSF1.0 Reference goes, I am...well..it's easier to show you. My experience went something like this. Jasper can't find the <f:use_faces> tag. Hmmm. This is kind of a critical thing, so I'm lead to believe. Try to find what I did wrong. No joy. Googling doesn't mention this gotcha. Neither does the Kurniawan book on JSF. Release notes don't mention it. Must not be finding the taglibs??? Nope. Maybe they camelized it like some of the other tags and forgot to say so? Nope. After double and triple checking myself, I look into the taglibs themselves. Whoa -- It's really not there! Hoookay...so I check the struts faces examples. and sure enough, it is not used there either. Must be gone... Failing that, if Craig doesn't need it, neither do I. Huzzah...I think. So I crib off of the examples. Obviously the docs aint current at all...I think/hope/wonder. Then I find a number of tags have changed ever so slightly, but that I had found in the release note (http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/docs/ReleaseNotes.html) even though the link to the README file is 404. So, with my newly found faith in the release notes and book I bought, I continue using "the braille system" to get a compile. Lo, more discoveries. Am I to understand that <h:input_date> ^H^H^H^H^H inputDate> is gone too???? As is <h:input_n^H^HNumber>?? I kinda thought they were the point here... Guess I have to use <h:input_text> and use a converter?? I guess. Maybe. Or do I? No amount of googling is providing me an answer about this either, and this time the best source of documentation I have (the struts faces examples) don't have a case where non-text input it gathered from the user. I'm not as annoyed as I sound (not much anyway), but it's quite frustrating to have this happen when you really did RTFM -- Lots of them. Watch it turn out to all be documented some place obvious I didn't think to look... -Joe --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
