Kick-off discussion: CDK Wish List

lfryc Mar 30, 2012 11:34 AM

On the last meeting [1], we have discussed how the CDK should be improved

and agreed to create CDK Wish List wiki page.

Everyone involed have now chance to express what are the priorities he feel it would be nice to have in CDK.

Later I will take this discussion and prepare wiki page with links to issue tracker.

I will start:

test base for testing features of CDK from high-level view (input/output)
incremental build
fix scanning for interfaces (XML-free inheritance of attributes using Java interfaces)
full support for iterative/dynamic components

Brian Leathem has pointed out:

allow casting in templates

Bernard Labno has pointed to:

generating listener tags

I have created wiki page to track requirements we have:
https://community.jboss.org/wiki/CDKWish-List

We can still discuss particular features/ideas here.

Support for the cc:renderFacet tag. ie. rendering a facet by name, without requiring delegation to the java renderer base.

Both are pretty valid requests, I'm adding them to CDK wish-list.

I need more ! Here is a few ideas I had by using the CDK.

Improve scope of <cdk:object> tag : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12195

Regex or wildcar on "cdk:passThrough" : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12200

Common and usefull methods automatically generated : https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12201

Great thoughts, Paul.

I'm thinking if RF-12195 is actually something which Brian ran into:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11668

Wildcard support seems pretty reasonable.
Even if you need to leave some on* attribute not taken, you can use onmouse* onkey*.

There is one option already for:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12201
you can import a static method from any class: <cdk:import>:
e.g. https://github.com/richfaces/components/blob/develop/validator/ui/src/main/templates/notify.template.xml#L35
I think it could be then used with EL, not only with <cdk:call expression="..." />.

RF-12195 is different from RF-11668. The latter deals with perfomeing a cast, whereas the former deals with the distinct functions (encodeBegin and encodeEnd) generated by the parts of the CDK template before and after the <cdk:bogy/> tag. Any cdk:object used in both sections has to be defined in both sections. This repetition looks odd in the template.

+1, wildcard support for imports would be great!
