Gavin, thank you very much for your answers.Knowing that I am on the right track, I started working on a general-purpose AMP that provides a component-generator 'TinyMCETextAreaGenerator': Given a Web Client customization like this,<show-property name="my:textproperty"
component-generator="TinyMCETextAreaGenerator">
a TinyMCE text area will be generated.Unfortunately, I've run into a problem – I think I almost got it, but need some more help.Here's what I am trying to do: I have added a custom generator like this
package org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui;
//…
public class TinyMCETextAreaGenerator extends TextAreaGenerator
{
private static final Log logger = LogFactory
.getLog(TinyMCETextAreaGenerator.class);
public UIComponent generate(FacesContext context, String id)
{
logger.info("TinyMCETextAreaGenerator invoked.");
UIComponent component = context.getApplication().createComponent(
ComponentConstants.JAVAX_FACES_INPUT);
component.setRendererType("org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui.TinyMCETextArea"); // (*)
FacesHelper.setupComponentId(context, component, id);
return component;
}
}
package org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui;
//…
public class TinyMCETextAreaRenderer extends BaseRenderer {
public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context, UIComponent component)
throws IOException
{
logger.info("encodeBegin"); // never executed!!
}
// …
}
The log shows me that the generator is actually called. However, I don't manage to successfully install the renderer. Without the line marked (*), I get a normal text field – but with (*), I get nothing at all (no text field), no complaints about the renderer not being found, and also no log output "encodeBegin".My module's faces-config.xml contains these elements: <managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>TinyMCETextAreaGenerator</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui.TinyMCETextAreaGenerator</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>request</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<render-kit>
<renderer>
<component-family>javax.faces.input</component-family>
<renderer-type>org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui.TinyMCETextArea</renderer-type>
<renderer-class>org.alfresco.module.WebClientTinyMCESupport.ui.TinyMCETextAreaRenderer</renderer-class>
</renderer>
</render-kit>
I would be very grateful for a short tip.Also, how can I enable javax.faces logging information about what renderers have been registered and which ones are called?Of course, I plan to add the final AMP to Alfresco Forge.Thanks,Kaspar
