Custom jsf components with Seam
Hi,
It's my first try on creating a custom component, and I think somethings going wrong. I'm not sure if it's more related to JSF than Seam, but since everything seems right to me on the JSF side, perhaps there's a glitch with seam.
Basically
<sn:spinner id="test" />
renders itself as
<spinner id="test" />
instead of
<span>test</span>
I'll put right down the structure and snippets of codes, and will be very happy if anyone indicate where might be the problem:
Thanks.
Here is the file structure
snodd.war:
+WEB-INF -Snodd.tld -faces-config.xml +classes +com +foo -SpinnerTag.java -UISpinner.java -home.xhtml
home.xhtml:
<html xmlns:sn="http://foo.com/snodd" > .... <sn:spinner id="test" />

faces-config.xml
<component> <component-type>com.foo.Spinner</component-type> <component-class>com.foo.UISpinner</component-class> </component>
SpinnerTag.java
public String getComponentType() {
return "com.foo.Spinner"; }
UISpinner.java
public UISpinner() {
setRendererType(null);
}
public void encodeBegin(FacesContext context) throws IOException {
ResponseWriter writer = context.getResponseWriter();
String clientId = getClientId(context);
encodeTestOutput(writer, clientId);
}
public void decode(FacesContext context) {
Map<String, String> requestMap = context.getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap();
String clientId = getClientId(context);
}
private void encodeTestOutput(ResponseWriter writer, String clientId) throws IOException {
writer.startElement("span", this);
writer.write("test");
writer.endElement("span");
}
