Can't find classes mentioned in Reference Data sections of component reference

[mwoinoskibt]

For each of the components described in the Component Reference, the Reference Data section lists several classes. For example, for <rich:dataScroller>:

     component-type: org.richfaces.DataScroller

     component-class: org.richfaces.component.UIDataScroller

     component-family: org.richfaces.DataScroller

     renderer-type: org.richfaces.DataScrollerRenderer

     handler-class: org.richfaces.taglib.DataScrollerHandler

However, of the four classes mentioned, the only one I can find (either in the RichFaces 4.2 jars or API documention) is org.richfaces.component.UIDataScroller. Are the other classes defined and/or documented elsewhere?

Also, where is the documentation for the supported attributes and child elements for each tag? The most complete documentation I could find for <rich:dataScroller> was the javadoc for org.richfaces.component.UIDataScroller.

Thanks,

Mike

Hello Mike,

On the documentation page

http://www.jboss.org/richfaces/docs

there are in the section generated docs:

- VDL doc for reference of all attributes of each component

- Components API

- Components Impl

Thanks, Juraj. The VDL doc is extremely helpful.

I'm still curious about "org.richfaces.DataScroller". It appears in the UIDataScroller and AbstractDataScroller classes as the value of the COMPONENT_FAMILY and COMPONENT_TYPE fields. But I can't find org.richfaces.DataScroller itself in  the RichFaces jar files, and I can't find any documentation for it. Is DataScroller an actual class, or is a category or description?

Yes, as you are mentioning it is some kind of category or mechanism by which components in JSF are grouped.
