Renderer in seam 3 or CDI ???

[rahul22]

hi,

In seam 2 we have a Renderer which we can use with Email functionality to render xhtml pages .

see http://www.seamframework.org/120157.lace -- SEAM 2

now in seam 3 i can see javax.faces.Renderer but i can't see a method which i can use for renderer .

so how we can achive renderer functionality in seam 3  ??????

i have gone thorugh seam 3 mail module but there i found velocity and other things related to templates use .

kindly bring some light

Thanks

The tests should include some examples. Unfortunately, that's all we have.

hi,

so to achieve this :-

public void send() {

                    try {

                              Renderer renderer = Renderer.instance();

                              renderer.render("/abc/xyz.xhtml");

                              log.info(EmailComponent.class,"Email sent successfully");

                    } catch (Exception e) {

  log.error(EmailComponent.class,"Error sending mail", e);

                    }

          }

i have to use seam mail module with velocity , now ???

If you want to go to Seam 3, yeah. If you'd like to stick to Seam 2, there's Seam 2.3 which was released last year which works on EAP 6 and AS7.

Are you talking about Seam 2.3 now or still Seam 3?

[rahul22]

Its still seam 3. my main goal is to render a page say xhtml page. After sending the email successfully.

renderer in seam 2 i can use directly for that purpose,,, but i want that in seam 3 ..

Check the code snippet i have. given regarding renderer in seam 2 there m doing render of xhtml page after email sent. successfully .

Thanks .

You could do all of the rendering of the template in an action method and just return the viewId for navigation. As far as Rendering XHTML for the email, that was never really solved due to some issue with JSF and environments.

[rahul22]

so in seam 3 something similar to seam 2 Renderer can't be achieved ?????

[lightguard]

Not unless you want to extend Seam Mail and Seam Reports to include those rendering options. Unfortunately when we created Seam 3 we never said it was a drop-in replacement for Seam 2. Hindsight, ya know?
