Content Assist in attributes which should be filled with id's

[ilya_shaikovsky]

Guys!

It's really superb thing to have assist in for example Ajax4jsf command component reRender attribute which suggest all id's defined on the page.

How about to consider facelets templating? Do you have plans on it? It will make the feature briliant!

P.S. really like Version: 3.0.0.CR2

Facelets templating? What kind of feature do you mean here?

We already have some support of it in VPE and code completion. For example <ui:composition template="|" > suggests available pages.

What else could be useful? WDYT?

yeah im also looking for something more concrete since "facelets templating" is probably what we got the *most* support for so wondering what we are missing ?

May be this one https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-5921 ?

I'm just brainstorming what would it be:

1. Enabling/disabling facelets on Dynamic Web Project which would modify required resources and add required libraries;

2. New wizards to create templates with selection from predefined layouts like: header/body,  header/body/footer, header/left/body/footer and etc...

3. Template/component extraction (this one I heard from Alexander Smirnov) - select region/node in current jsp and then convert it into facelet component/template. Vice versa case also could be useful but it is not a priority.

4. Search for facelets elements references

5. Refactoring (is based on 4):

     - renaming/moving template files

     - renaming facelet elements like ui:insert@name value

6. Content assist improvements (see Maxim example)

7. Content assist Templates (see XML templates for XML editor or ant build.xml editor)

8. .... list is still open you name it

6. Content assist improvements (see Maxim example)

yes.. something like that. Sorry again for maybe non-informative request.

Example:

• I'm using some outputPanel with id = "renderFromSomeChildPages"  in template "main.xhtml"
• client page page1.xhtml uses that template <ui:composition template="mai.xhtml">
• page1.xhtml has a4j:command*. So if I'm trying to add reRender attribute and invoke CA there - suggestions contains id's only from that child page. How about to look to template(main.xhtml) also and suggest renderFromSomeChildPages also?

I'm not talking about includes cases. Just about templates and child pages.

Yep, that's another use case for content assist improvements. All what we need to define all first class objects in facelets templating and build model on top of it to use it everywhere: content assist, search, refactoring  and validation.
