Question about Facelets dev

[Curtiss Howard]

Hi,

Just curious, what is the status of the Facelets dev work that is
happening for MyFaces?  Just wondering if there is any help needed
and/or what the ETA is.  Also, is that anticipated to include all of
the taglib as well?

Thanks,

Hi,

I'm working on it. Hopefully it'll be done by next Sunday. So far I think I should be able to handle it on my own. If not ready by Sunday, then I guess some help would be needed. As for the taglib, we keep the tags defined by the spec.

Simon,

Thanks for the update.  WRT the taglib, what I meant was, does your
work include implementing the tags as well?

Thanks,

Hi Curtiss,

Yes and no. Facelets is now ASL2 licensed so we're not reinventing the wheel, we use the original code, modified only to include Java 5 features (generics), repackage the classes and integrate the PDL semantics. However, if I have time, I want to do some performance tests with current code. More specifically, many handlers use a sorted array structure for attribute, therefore the loopup takes O(log n) while the original sort itself uses Collections.sort(), therefore a merge sort with O(n log n) complexity. Although this is memory footprint optimal, I'm pretty sure a HashMap construct would be fater, albeit a bit heavier on memory, so I'd like to do some testing to see how much faster/heavier a Map would be.
