Some of you may be wondering what the status is on the RI Sandbox. With the announcement of Project Mojarra, we can finally take the wraps off of Mojarra Scales, the promotion of the RI/Mojarra Sandbox to its own project. (more…)

It is with a pretty high degree of excitement that we, the JSF RI Mojarra development team, announce Project Mojarra. While the project itself is not new (it’s the same, high quality and stable JSF implementation we’re all familiar with ;), the announcement of the new moniker brings to an end a lengthy, and sometimes frustrating, process of deciding on a name that can pass legal muster. For more details on the name change, see this entry by Ryan Lubke.

Well, that wasn’t hard. I think I have the redeploy issue fixed, and a shared library was the trick. (more…)

As a follow-up to my entry on getting a Seam and JPA/Hibernate application running on OC4J, I now have an alpha release of a Maven 2 archetype available for use and testing, with heavy emphasis on testing. (more…)

On a recent project, the architecture we settled on included JavaServer Faces (no surprise, there, I guess:), JBoss Seam and JPA. The production environment is Oracle’s OC4J, so the stack we chose has to deploy (easily) to that container. While I did get it working, it wasn’t easy, nor was it easily reproducible. Now that the pressures of deadlines have passed, I took the time to track down what exactly needs to be done to make the application deploy and run on OC4J. In retrospect, it doesn’t look that hard, but, knowing the pain I went through to make it work, I thought I’d share what you need to know if you’re in a similar situation. (more…)

With some help from Ryan Lubke, a number of issues have been fixed in the RI Sandbox, including:
and several minor fixes here and there. Having done that, I’ve bumped the version (which I have been awful at maintain thus the jump from 0.1 to the seemingly arbitrary 0.7) to 0.8, leaving us with this road map.
If you have any comments, questions, suggestions, etc., please let me know here or in the issue tracker.

For my record setting, third blog in a single day, I thought I’d make a quick update on the state of the RI Sandbox components. Just a couple of days ago, a former coworker started asking questions about my download component, which made me realize that I should probably find some time to do some work on them. As a general rule, they’re all fairly usable, with some gotchas here and there, as Brent was discovering. Given my desire to see a 1.0 release, it’s time to address those issues. (more…)

The JSFTemplating team is proud to announce that a new, Facelets-compatible format has been added to JSFTemplating and has reached the beta stage. Not all of the Facelets components are currently supported; those that are currently supported are ui:component, ui:decorate, ui:include, ui:define, and ui:remove, with the addition of a new ui:event, which brings the power of JSFTemplating’s events to this new Facelets format. In addition other JSFTemplating features are also available to Facelets pages, such as “pageSession” (i.e. #{pageSession.variable}) and ability to reference relative information like $this{componentId}.
Please remember that this is beta software, but should be stable enough to support the basic Facelets functionality (note that we do not yet have support for Facelets tag handlers, etc). Should you find a bug in this new format, please file an issue against it on the issue tracker.
If you would like to see a demo of the functionality, we have deployed an application that shows the exact same templates as processed by Facelets itself as well as JSFTemplating, thus showing how well the implementations match up. As the implementation matures, this application will be updated to show the current state.
If you have questions or comments, please join the discussion on the dev mailing list. You might also be able to catch one of the developers on irc.freenode.net in #jsftemplating.

I have just committed preliminary support for the TinyMCE JavaScript HTML editor. There are parts that still don’t work correctly, but it’s a good start. (more…)

I could be wrong, but I think it’s safe to say that most people don’t know about JSFTemplating, which is a pity, as it’s a pretty nice alternate ViewHandler implementation from Ken Paulsen, GlassFish admin console architect. One of the coolest features, I think, is its introduction of templating events (e.g., one can attach a beforeEncode event to a component on a page and have a handler method fire before that component is encoded). The first comment I hear, though, is usually something about template syntax, and it does seem a bit foreign with things like and #include /header.inc. That’s where I come in. (more…)
