CDK vcp-body problem with condition

[asrichas2can]

I'm developing a template based component similar to link.jspx

There is one section for including the child nodes:

<vcp:body>
 <f:call name="renderChildren" />
 </vcp:body>

The generator works fine.
But if I introduce a condition then I get compiler error like "illegal start of expression" in the renderer class.

I tried <c:if> as well as

 <jsp:scriptlet>
 <![CDATA[
 if (condition) {
 ]]>
 </jsp:scriptlet>

The generated code is corrupt.
But if I remove the <vcp:body> section, everything works fine - except I cannot use chield node like <f:param> any more :-(

Now I understood the problem.
When the code generators finde the vcp:body-Tag, it stopps writing the code into doEncodeBegin() and starts with doEncodeChildren().
So there are if-statement starting before the body and ending after it, then the closing } ends in a different method and causes an error.

It replaced this by separate if-clause. But there are 2 disadvantages:
[list=]
Some xml thinks now there are unbalanced tags, because a div-Tag is opened in one if-clause and must be closed in another.

The other problem is that I define a condition variable in a jsp-scriptlet. Because the visibility of this scriptlet ends in doEncodeBegin() but the value would be needed also in doEncodeEnd(), I have to repeat the code, which is not very readable.

Use ResponseWriter#startElement/endElement in scriptlet to handle this.

Use c:set tag and org.ajax4jsf.renderkit.ComponentVariables class to pass variables between methods. Check source of this project: http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/richfaces/trunk/ui/componentControl
