with template property?

fhh Jun 3, 2007 8:05 PM

Hi!

I am trying to use the template property of <s:decorate /> (instead of facets) in Seam 1.2.1 .GA but it doesn't work for me. The <ui:insert /> in the decorateField.xhtml does not only insert the input child of <s:decorate /> but the whole page (which is in a <ui:define /> because it uses a page template).

If I explicilty define

<ui:define name="input"><h:inputText value="#{mitgliedHome.instance.name}" required="true"/></ui:define>

and ajust the decorateField.xhtml file it works. Is this a mistake in the documentation or am I missing something?

Regards

Felix

P.S.: facelets 1.1.11 / JSF RI 1.2

You should not need to do that. Look at the examples.

Otherwise it doesn't work. It will insert the body of the page I defined and not just the input.

It seems like a bug to me. I will post the code once I am at home.

Here's the code of the form:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
 xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
 xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich"
 template="/WEB-INF/templates/standard.xhtml">

 <ui:define name="title">Title</ui:define>

 <ui:define name="body">
<h:form>
 <rich:toolBar height="26" itemSeparator="line">

 <rich:toolBarGroup rendered="#{not mitgliedHome.managed}">
 <h:commandLink action="#{mitgliedHome.persist}"><h:graphicImage value="/images/button_ok.png" /><h:outputText value="Save" /></h:commandLink>
 </rich:toolBarGroup>

 </rich:toolBar>

 <h:messages globalOnly="true"/>

 <s:decorate template="decorateField.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="label">Username:</ui:define>
 <h:inputText value="#{userHome.instance.name}" required="true"/>
 </s:decorate>

 </h:form>

 </ui:define>

 </ui:composition>

And the decorateField.xhtml:


<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
 xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
 xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
 xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
 xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">

 <div>

 <s:label styleClass="#{invalid?'error':''}">
 <ui:insert name="label"/>
 <s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span>
 </s:label>

 <span class="#{invalid?'error':''}">
 <!-- <h:graphicImage src="img/error.gif" rendered="#{invalid}"/> -->
 <s:validateAll>
 <ui:insert />
 </s:validateAll>
 </span>

 <s:message styleClass="error"/>

 </div>

</ui:composition>

The result looks like this:

Actually, this concern is legitimate. I can confirm that both of you are correct. If you run the seam examples, they work perfectly. If you use your own setup with jsf-facelets-1.1.11.jar, then you get an error when trying to use the bare <ui:insert />. Apparently, seam has a modified (or just alternate) version of Facelets other than the latest stable 1.1.11 version.

Does anyone know which version of facelets is bundled with Seam? I can assure you that if you take the jsf-facelets-1.1.11.jar file and put it into the seam distribution, the examples using s:decorate with templates will not work.

It's easy to see which version we have using fisheye:

http://fisheye.jboss.com/browse/JBoss/jboss-seam/lib/jsf-facelets.jar

ie. it is a version of 1.1.12 with a special bug fix for ui:decorate.

So if you're using some other version of facelets other than the one we recommend, its hardly surprising that you run into problems...

Okay, thanks for the information. I use maven and used simply the latest available version.

Could you add a hint to the documentation? I think quite a lot of people might bump into this.
