Dear all,
Please, be informed that, after few iterations
, I have managed to convert Alfresco Web Application to a version which is using Facelets as a component tree building technology instead of JSP. If you are not familiar with Facelets, this article could give you good overview.
This is a simple port of JSP version of client and it does not use all the possibilities which Facelets are offering, but could serve as a good starting point to begin with jsp refactoring.
At the moment the client is provided as a patch which should be applied to the Web-Client project checked out from svn. The patch itself can be found here.
Please have in mind that this conversion is not really complete. What is missing is the following:
1. Some files were not converted because java flow control was used inside of jsp which has to be replaced with jstl tags. These are:
[size=75]\jsp\content\add-content-dialog.jsp
\jsp\dialog\checkin-file.jsp
\jsp\dialog\import.jsp
\jsp\dialog\update-file.jsp
\jsp\ml\add-translation-dialog.jsp
\jsp\relogin.jsp
\jsp\wcm\add-content-dialog.jsp
\web\jsp\wcm\import-content-dialog.jsp
\web\jsp\wcm\update-file.jsp[/size]
2. Not all components are registered within taglib.xml files. This particulary is true for wcm components.
Hopefully within following few days, I will also convert the rest of the files and will complete different taglib.xml files.
Kind regards,
Denis

Hi there,
I have uploaded the new version of Facelet client to the Forge and have documented what had to be changed in existing Web Client code base to make it work with facelets.
My humble opinion is that life with Facelets will be more easier and it seems to me that migration road to Facelets is pretty straighforward, it only has to be done
Kind regards,
Denis
