apply skin to application

[venkattippi]

hi,

iam using richfaces skins in my application.

different users are logging to use the application and they select one theme in their settings and iam storing that theme and when they relogin i show the screens with that theme color.

but as per your example we have to configure this in web.xml.when i do this and give like bean.skin in contextParam for all users it came the same theme
because we are configured in web.xml

how to differentiate the themes based on the user login and show their selected theme through out upto logout.

please tell me how to show the different theme for different user

thanks in advance,
venkat

Hi Venkat,

<context-param>
<param-name>org.richfaces.SKIN</param-name>
<param-value>#{skinBean.skin}</param-value>
</context-param>

SkinBean is a session-scoped. Its "skin" property contains the name of selected skin.

Browser makes these windows share the session. Seam has a special conversation scope, however I'm not sure it will work ok for this case. You can try.
