trinidad and jpdl / trinidad and the seam EL-extension

[hamtho2]

Hi,

I just tried to get Trinidad to work with Seam and did quite well so far.

But I have to questions:

1. It seems as if a trinidad-form doesn´t work with my jpdl-pageflows. If I use the <tr:commandButton> together with the <tr:form> the submit doesn´t work. If I change it to <h:commandButton> together with <h:form> it works, but I only get the validation-errors in a javascript pop-up window and not in the html-page. Is there a way to change this? If I try to use <tr:form> together with <h:commandButton> the fields don´t seem to be filled, as I always get the validation errors.

Any solution to that?

2. Is the Seam extension to the EL not supported with trinidad? I tried to use the following syntax and got an exception. If I change it to a standard-el-expression everything works fine. Is there any configuration to make it work?

By the way: I used the trinidad from the example of the wikipage. Are there any major improvements in the current version of the incubator?

Thanks

I had no problem with Trinidad and pageflows. But then I have disabled the JS validation error popups.

I never managed to get the EL enhancement working with Trinidad.

[hamtho2]

Petemuir,

how did you disable the JS validation-popup?

Thomas

[pmuir]

/WEB-INF/trinidad-config.xml

<trinidad-config xmlns="http://myfaces.apache.org/trinidad/config">
 <debug-output>true</debug-output>
 <client-validation-disabled>true</client-validation-disabled>
</trinidad-config>

[hamtho2]

Perfectly - exactly as I wanted. Thanks a lot petemuir.

Just a short question: I´m running a h:form together with the tr:inputText. This way I can work with my jpdl. Is that how you did it as well - or do you have a complete trinidad-form?

Thomas

[pmuir]

I use tr:form with (an extension of) tr:inputText which I think works (but i'm not in a position to confirm that atm).

[hamtho2]

Okay. thanks anyways. Currently I´m quite happy because with your help it works for me after all. It´s always a big benefit to have this forum. This way it´s possible to have a nice weekend without frustrations from the week, but instead a good feeling ;-) Thanks again!

But I still have a question:
1. Do you know, if there Is a chance to use the hibernate validation annotations inside the ejb3-entities? It seems as if s:validateAll does not have any effect anymore. Can you confirm this?

2. How come, that the messages displayed through tr:messages are different than the message defined through the requiredMessageDetail, whereas tr:message uses the same value? Is there a chance to let tr:messages also display the details?

[pmuir]

[rl]http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-501[/url]

Dunno on the second point - talk to the trinidad people :)

[hamtho2]

Do you have a good source where to ask those questions?
Do they have a forum as well? Or is this only this mailing list?

[pmuir]

The mailing list I guess - http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-adffaces-user/

[hamtho2]

Mmh.. the longer I go into details between icefaces and trinidad I get more and more confused. What would you say is the better choice if you start from scratch? It looks like Seam has a very high integration for ice-faces, plus it looks really sexy, but trinidad seems to be longer on the market. I don´t think it´ll be good to mix them up.

Do you have a recommendation what you´d do?

Thanks
Thomas
