I got question regarding <s:decorate>
Normally i design my forms in such manner :
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<h:outputText>Login</h:outputText>
<h:inputText value="#{newUser.login}"/>
</h:panelGrid>
Wich gets Me the layout i want
But when using <s:decorate> im forced to do like so :
<h:panelGrid columns="2">
<s:decorate template="../misc/error_facelet.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Nazwisko</ui:define>
<h:inputText value="#{newUser.lastName}"/>
</s:decorate>
</h:panelGrid>
The Problem with above design is that everything in <s:decorate> is inserted in one cell of a table.
My error_facelet.xhtml is the file straight from docu :
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">
<div>
<s:label styleClass="#{invalid?'error':''}">
<ui:insert name="label"/>
<s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span>
</s:label>
<span class="#{invalid?'error':''}">
<s:validateAll>
<ui:insert/>
</s:validateAll>
</span>
<s:message styleClass="error"/>
</div>
</ui:composition>
One Thing is the div element wich i should not use (ill erease it and check it out) but my question is :
is <s:decorate> threated as a container (component wise) are all contents of it threated as one element or it just pastes the template without interfering ?
the effect id like to achieve is to have label in one cell - field in the other and do not use separate panelGrid in the template (so i wont generate 2 cell tabel for each field) is it possible ?
