nesting facelet tag's body in a tag definition

Rate this Message:
Hi there,
I would like to create simple UI component for decorating content (for example some fancy javascript-decorated panel for some content). It would be best to be able to create a tag like my:fancyPanel, with a standard .xhtml based definition (via source attribute in tag's definition), like <ui:component> <div .... fancy panel styles, JS functions etc> <!-- WHAT TO DO HERE? to include tag's body? --> </div> </ui:component> Is this possible to reference tags body in a definition like above? So when I use my tag like this: <my:fancyPanel> <!-- some custom code I'd like to be nested within fancy panel, like: --> <h:form> ... </h:form> </my:fancyPanel> Any ideas? If that's not possible easily via some code inserted in fancyPanel .xhtml file - how can I achieve this without creating java-based component rendering code to the response ? I'd like to keep fancyPanel's code in an easily editable .xhtml file, not java prints... I would greatly appreciate any ideas how to accomplish this.

Why aren't you using Facelets templating mechanism?
https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#gettingstarted-view-template Or if you want, you can create a Facelets tag: https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#taglib-create (Look for 3.5.5. Tag (Source) Files) Cheers, Paulo On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 11:55 AM, Wojciech Ciesielski <wciesielski@...> wrote: Hi there, |

Hi, I know about both templating and basic source-based tag
creation... What I don't know is how to use tag's body (passed while using a tag on a page) inside tag definition source file... If it's possible at all... Templating requires a component to call explicitly it's template... It's a bottom up approach (component needs to select template) - I need a top-up - be able to wrap certain part of a component tree in my tags/components... Let's say we have a structure like this: page-template.xhtml: <ui:composition> .... <ui:insert /> </ui:composition> mypage.xhtml: <ui:composition template="page-template.xhtml"> <ui:define> ... page contents ... <my:fancyDataTable > <!-- some data display component --> </my:fancyDataTable > </ui:define> </ui:composition> I am preparing a library of UI components - toggle panels, animated, fancy, sexy ;-) etc. So I need to be able to use a custom tag (my:fancyPanel) to wrap given components without wrapped component knowing about this... So while compiled the page would look like this: <ui:composition template="page-template.xhtml"> <ui:define> ... page contents ... <my:fancyPanel> <my:fancyDataTable > <!-- some data display component #1 --> </my:fancyDataTable > </my:fancyPanel> <my:fancyPanel> <my:fancyDataTable > <!-- some data display component #2 --> </my:fancyDataTable > </my:fancyPanel> .... etc ... </ui:define> </ui:composition> I don't have an idea how to accomplish this with templating... I could try to pass a template name as an argument to a fancyDataTable but even if it works it's ugly - I'm causing a child to be aware of being wrapped.... It would be perfect if facelets have a magic tag like <ui:putBodyHere /> that could be used within tag's source .xhtml. But I am afraid it does not exist (feature request maybe? ;-) ) Thanks, Wojtek On Wed, Sep 16, 2009 at 12:22 PM, Paulo Pinto <pjmlp@...> wrote: > Why aren't you using Facelets templating mechanism? > > https://facelets.dev.java.net/nonav/docs/dev/docbook.html#gettingstarted-view-template Cause I want to define wrapping of some content from outside of this content, not inside...

We are using a component like this
comp.xhtml <ui:composition> <div> <ui:repeat value="#{asdf}" var="cur"> ...other ui code... <ui:insert /> </ui:repeat> </div> </ui:composition> Then, in other files, we do something like this <div> <my:comp asdf="#{someBean.getlist}"> <h:outputText value="#{cur.name}" title="#{cur.key}" /> </my:comp> </div> The body of the my:comp tag is placed wherever the ui:insert is within the composition. The insert has no name, and I am not defining anything. I'm not sure this is in any documentation I've read, I just tried it once, hoping it would work, and got lucky. Is this kind of what you are looking for? If you need to define more than one insert, then you should probably look at the ui:decorate tag. It's great for... decorating stuff, like decorating your fancyDataTable with a fancyPanel without causing the fancyDataTable to know that it's decorated at all.
