JSF/EMF integration in Web Tools Project [message #469918]

I've written several web applications using Eclipse Modeling Framework
models to provide managed beans for JSF applications.

This combination allows one to create complex enterprise web data
applications quickly using the EMF reflective api and built-in
serialization.

I even use EMF's ItemProviderAdapters, EditingDomain and Command
creation facilities.

Using JSF, JET and an XMI file, one should be able to generate a
full-scale top-to-bottom application. I've used XDoclet with success for
some JSF code generation.

If you're interested, I'd be happy to share my efforts and assist in any
way to create the required plugins for the Web Tools Project.

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for participating in the JSF project.

Your idea of using EMF to generate a full-fledged application is very
interesting and useful. However, this is not in the scope of the JSF
tooling project. Instead, I would like you to consume the services
provided by the JSF framework to help you in the generation.

I would like to know if you would be interested in contributing to the
JSF project in helping define the framework services or in any other area.

Hello Raghu,

I would be delighted to contribute in any way. I'm new to your
contribution process so any heads up on where the most help is needed
would be appreciated. By the way, I'm currently using WTP 0.7 for my JSF
projects already.

I manually import the jsf and other jars into the WEB-INF/lib directory,
but programmatically this should be a snap.

Re: proposal for a full-blown graphical editor - to me, doesn't
facilitate JSF programming. Automatic component layout is one of the
built-in features of JSF and is best manipulated directly in the JSF
file. Better to provide component property editing. Clicking on a
component in context should allow for needed control.

Some useful css skins for tables and data entry forms could also be
included.

Don't forget support for Tile.

Glenn...

Speaking about Tiles, I think it would be better to support Shale, however,
I agree with Arthur's comment about support for standard technologies. See
"Shale support" thread.

Best,
Igor.

Agreed.

Glen - we need to observe the current scope of the JST subproject.
However, if there is something we need to do to enable Tiles support, we
can do that. Our goal is to provide a platform that other projects can
extend, e.g. a Tiles project.
