Skinning: How to override tabHeader.jspx (termplate) from TabPanel Component

[piotrjanik]

Hi,

I'd like to make some little changes in html code of tabPanel header.(only html and css)

Is there anyway to override tabHeader.jspx from tabPanel component or should I write a new component from scratch?

Thanks!

you could redefine just renderer for component as described in standard JSF knowledgebase resources. If you would prefer to checkout full RF component and modify with CDK - please check the articles on CDK and this article on working with sources.

I prefer jspx templating style of CDK.

So, the only way to change tabPanel's header with CDK is to checkout tabPanel from svn and make my own changes?

It would be nice, if  I could put tabHeader.jspx somewhere in classpath.

I'm afraid it wouldn't work ;/

Thanks again!

as you could guess - CDK templates just parsed into renderer classes at compile time. so no way to use in application directly. (and the performance of such solution promises to be not good)
