2. Re: Seam 1.1.1.GA
kukeltje Jan 19, 2007 5:51 AM (in response to gavin.king)ICEFaces 1.5.1 and Seam 1.1.1 are (relatively) the best combination of each so far. ICEFaces on its own is good, (except the icefaces datepicker which is unusable), seam is great.
The combination is getting better and better. Now ICEFaces 1.5.2 is out it should be even better since they made it more Seam compatible. I did not try that yet because I have to have something working and was not fully successfull with 1.5.1 so swithced back to using more plain jsf components -

christian.bauer Jan 19, 2007 6:29 AM (in response to gavin.king)I also tried the latest ICEFaces and played with the tree component. Unfortunately it is not really usable, there are rendering issues and the model binding is unnecessarily complicated by mixing the Swing TreeModel with a custom IceUserObject extension point. This regularly comes up on the ICEFaces forum, the extension point should be removed and developers should be able to write against plain TreeModel and TreeNode interfaces. I did not try any other ICEFaces component though.

I see new chapter in documentation for 1.1.1 (Chapter 23. Security). Is new security ready to use now? -
5. Re: Seam 1.1.1.GA
newlukai Jan 19, 2007 7:46 AM (in response to gavin.king)Is there any documentation where to put all the necessary jars in the ear and which jar is needed since Seam and ICEfaces use similar jars, e. g. commons-beanutils-1.7.0.jar (Seam) and commons-beanutils.jar (ICEfaces). I think it's better to use the versioned Seam jars since I can determine the version of the jar.

6. Re: Seam 1.1.1.GA
m.schuetz Jan 19, 2007 11:41 AM (in response to gavin.king)I just tried out the new itext-functionality. It's great. But there is one problem. Seam always uses .seam as default extension - generated pdf-url looks like: http://localhost:8080/seam-doc.seam?docId=3
When manually changing extension as in web.xml defined, pdf will be created perfectly.
Is it possible to configure the seam-iext-extension in web.xml?
Thanks,

gavin.king Jan 19, 2007 1:23 PM (in response to gavin.king)Actually Seam 1.1.1 bundles ICEFaces 1.5.2.
But we are really waiting for a bugfix that will be released in ICEFaces 1.5.3. Then things should be working much nicer together. -

No, that is still scheduled for 1.1.5. Note that the PDF stuff made it in early 'cos Norman worked hard, but I expect there will also be a few improvements to that stuff in the next release. -

You'll have to ask Norman about that. I agree it would be much better that way. -
10. Re: Seam 1.1.1.GA
norman.richards Jan 19, 2007 1:46 PM (in response to gavin.king)Yes, I'd definitely like to be able to support that as an option. The two things that complicate the matter are that I don't want to require anyone to hack web.xml just to use it and I don't want to do anything that would impact serving static PDFs. I've definitely got that high on my feature list.
If you have any other suggestions for the PDF functionality, I've started a thread another thread to collect ideas: http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4003981#4003981. -

Any estimate when 1.1.5 will be released? -
13. Re: Seam 1.1.1.GA
kukeltje Jan 21, 2007 11:55 AM (in response to gavin.king)an interesting option would be to define a pdf 'template' file in a page and to use el expressions to fill in the template. e.g. personalized letters, where most is defined in the pdf file. Something like working with existing pdf documents

gavin.king Jan 21, 2007 2:21 PM (in response to gavin.king)If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use facelets templating (ui:composition/ui:insert/ui:define) with PDF views.
