Just want to take a gander at the JSF stuff. I promise to supply feed back. Also any wizards to extend JSTL planned?
Doyle, what in particular would you like to see in JSTL wizards? What functionality would you like streamlined?
Make new tag > Then it shells out a tag , the xml needs to be filled out properly. Select all the required stuff or make it optional. I guess I envision a box where you add these elements and properties.
Or
Something that let you over ride a tag. Lets say you have strict standards at a company and everyone needs to use a description. Instead of having it as an optional tag make it required.

For JSF it would be nice to have a graphical drag and drop buddies. Custom faces ect ect.
JSF is supposed to be easy. :: I keep looking for the easy in Java.I’m not totally sold on the Wizard idea (it doesn’t mean its not a good idea, I just mean personally)… wrapping the JSTL tags with wizards seems to automatically imply wrapping all other TAGS, since its not much of a stretch… when then makes me thing “would I ever use it”, no, because it would probably slow me down.
I understand your comment about normalizing across a team, but you are dealing with standardized APIs… weather we offer a template that sticks a “description” into the tag or not when its created, the user can still go in and clear it out or muck it up and its still valid according to the JSTL specs.
As far as the ‘better autocomplete’, I’m ALWAYS sold on that suggestion 🙂
Did you have any particular autocomplete in mind? One thing I have suggested to the team (we haven’t talked in depth yet) is autocomplete based on jsp:useBean and bean:define in JSP pages (of course not just the name, but honoring the types specified and including the method calls).
Also seeing completion in the struts name and property tags depending on the type of bean you are referering would be good. NetBeans has this now with std JSP tags. (3.6 beta 1)
Was there any other suggestions you had in mind?
<fmt:formatDate value=”${fooparm.bardatev}” pattern=”h:mm a zz”/>
some auto on the patern?
after the “.” on fooparm.<ramble>
I think that would be difficult unless ME can read scope, session, ect. Guess you would have to link it/cache some how.
</ramble>I can’t wait for the JSF. Is such a drag doing it manually.
how about on struts once you make an object have drag to page? can you do that with the GEF ?
Also with JSF? That would be a ton of work (You would have to up the membership.)Doyle, yes you are right that is definately a ton of work, but you’d be surprised how smart the team members are… I’ll pass this along and see what they think.
