Defining custom components in Facelets is easy and quick but there's one thing I can't figure out.
Is it possible with Facelets to define what attributes my custom component has? I.e: I've created a component which is used in such a way:
<blue:modalWindow id="editFeesWizard" width="500" height="440" title="Wizard">
and is defined in taglib.xml as follows:
<!DOCTYPE facelet-taglib PUBLIC
"-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Facelet Taglib 1.0//EN"
"http://java.sun.com/dtd/facelet-taglib_1_0.dtd">
<facelet-taglib>
<namespace>...</namespace>
<tag>
<tag-name>modalWindow</tag-name>
<source>components/modalWindow.xhtml</source>
</tag>
</facelet-taglib>
Taglib doesn't contain any information on component's attributes (id, width, height, title) and IDE cannot therefore check my syntax nor can it suggest attributes while I'm typing.
I cannot find anything on this subject in Facelets documentation. Thought you could help. Thanks!
It seems there isn't a way. But even if there was, I don't think Eclipse (for example) would be able to handle it and offer autocomplete. That's why you can define a .tld
, containing the attributes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<taglib
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-jsptaglibrary_2_1.xsd"
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="2.1">
......
</taglib>
Just for the sake of autocompletion. Ugly, I know.
