Facelets???

[manuelgentile]

Is it possible to integrate into the Alfresco Web Client a set of pages made with Facelets!?!?!?
It's a special content editor??

Thanks

No problem Gavin….
just an information……

I have problem with "panel" component.
In the browse page we have two panels that contains respectivley the space and content rich lists.

If I set the relative binding parameters and i close and open the panel the contents are not visualized…..
If i clear binding parameters the panels work fine …but of course operation as Paste Item using the Clipboard or any other operation that need Context Update   don't work!!!!!!

Any suggetion??
I don't know if the problem is the UIPanel component and the realtive render mechanism  based on PanelTag and the method DoStartTag….. I read the javadoc about that…

A little help!!?!?!?!?!?!
Thanks

I'm afraid I don't know without some investigation myself.

However, as you have read there are some places where we've had to work around some issues with using JSPs. These may well cause some side effects when tag libraries are not being used to place the components on the page i.e. in facelets.

Hi,

I should like to know if you have made some investigations on facelets now.
I'm working on a project where we needs to rewritte a big part of the alfresco web client side

(You are not WAI compliant: For information: this is normally an obligation (law) for products that used by administration in Europe - Actually very less web application hosted by Europe and State Members are compliant but a special "political effort" is asked for new projects - Alfreco should take it in account for future release if they don't want to close "European administration market").

I'm currently investigating how to completly rewritte the "non administrative part" of Alfresco web client.

Actually I plan to use facelets to do that… but I should like to know if "Alfresco" tried it already: Is there any technicals reasons to not use Facelets? at all?

BTW, I discover a "big" problem:
To be WAI compliant, I needs to desactivate the JAVASCRIPT support of JSF (in web.xml). But when I do that, it is not possible to browse the repository anymore. –> I should like to continue to use the originals pages for administration of alfresco… But if I can't to use it without Javascript, I have a big problem: One think is to rewrite "the client side" another is to rewrite the admin side as well !!!

May I hope Alfresco will correct that point?

Thanks.

Unfortunatley, no, we have not done any further investigation into facelets, our release schedule to date has not allowed sufficient time.

Yes, it should be technically feasible to do.

JSF requires the use of JSF it is key to how it manages the state/submission of data for the JSF lifecycle.

If you can NOT use JavaScript i'm afraid you're looking at a complete re-write of the web client 😞
