As part of my JavaOne session on Shale, I demo'd the fact that Clay lets you have two different views of the page:
Designer view: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login.html Developer view: http://localhost:8080/myapp/login.faces To demonstrate that Clay was actually parsing the HTML template, in login.html I changed: <span jsfid="usernameMessage"> username error message </span> to the following instead ("errors" is a CSS style class that turns the text red): <span jsfid="usernameMessage" class="errors"> username error message </span> When you redisplay the designer view, this does indeed show a change in behavior -- the "username error message" string shows up in red. However, if you redisplay the developer view and then try to enter an invalid username/password, the text still comes up in black. One thing I noticed, in the emitted HTML markup for the developer view, the error message string is *not* surrounded by a <span class="errors>...</span>, which is (of course) why the text didn't change color. Did some behavior change recently in this regard? I'd be fine with some alternative way of accomplishing this sort of demonstration, but changing the HTML template and seeing the change applied immediately is a more compelling demo than something like changing clay-config.html.
