TagCreator via org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.tagCreationFactories is not

Do you have example of using the extension point?


Thanks

It would seem that this extension-point schema was included prematurely.
There is no current support for this.

Sorry about that.

Can you describe what you are trying to do? Perhaps we can direct you to
an alternative solution.

Thanks Cameron.

What I want to do is to customize the behavior of trait
"requires-html-form" so that instead of h:form but my custom form
component gets inserted. Is there an alternative way to do that?

Thanks

Hi Liming,

There is no easy way to do this at present. I can you provide you with a
workaround that should work if you are willing to learn about how GEF edit
policies work.

If a more generalized framework approach is important to you, please log a
bug describing the scenario(s) you need supported.

You will need to use the ElementEdit extension point to override the
default edit policy on the ElementEditPart. To do this you can use the
org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.pageDesignerExtension extension point with
"elementEditFactory" sequence to define a factory for creating
ElementEdit's associated with the tag lib URI you are interested in.
There are examples of this in the org.eclipse.jst.pagedesigner.jsf.ui
plugin. Once you have an ElementEdit factory you create new ElementEdit
objects for the tag you are interested in. See JSFHTMLElementEditFactory
for an example of how this is done.

In the ElementEdit object for the tag(s) you are interested in, you will
need to implement the createEditPolicies method and install your own
ItemCreationRequest.REQ_ITEM_CREATION edit policy. To look at the default
one, start at NodeEditPart.createEditPolicies(). Within your own edit
policy for element creation (you can probably sub-class the existing one
called ItemCreationEditPolicy or the common DropEditPolicy) you need to
tailor the creation command returned by the getCommand method.

This is fairly involved I know, but as I said it is a workaround. Let me
know if you have any further questions.

Cameron,

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I still have problem with
getCommand(request).

I have install EditorPolicy ItemCreationRequest.REQ_ITEM_CREATION with
my ItemCreationEditPolicy object. But the request objects passed in with
getCommand (request) are instances of GroupRequest not
ItemCreationRequest which we expect because the getCommand call with
ItemCreationRequest has been issued before createEditPolicy. Without
ItemCreationRequest and IDomPosition, I couldn't find the way to insert
parent components. Are there other way around?

Thanks again!

You're right! Sorry about that, I forgot that the ITEM_CREATION policy is
created against the target edit part not the one being created. You
*could* use this strategy if you are able to install your edit policy on
all edit parts where the element you are creating may be dropped. Try
dragging something from the palette into the element you have set the edit
policy for and you should the correct request.

I'm afraid I can't think of anything else right now, but will continue to
try to find a workaround.

I'm going to try and escalate a work around for this issue. I don't know
if we'll be able to get it in for 2.0.1 and it won't be a full solution,
but I'm hoping to get something that lets you workaround this issue more

I have 2 questions regarding stylesheet to bother you.
1. I have a link stylesheet component and it needs to be dropped into
<head> section but it looks like the section is not droppable. Am I
right? Is there a way around?
2. For <link> tag, the value of href attribute (actually relative path
to a css file) is resolved against webroot which is observed via view
source in preview mode event though in source text it is still a
relative path. What I want is to resolve the relative path based on
plugin's path. Is it possible?


Thank you very much

Are you aiming to change the way the <link> tag works or write a custom
tag converter for your own component? How would loading the file relative
to a plugin map to runtime behaviour? What if you copied the file from
the plugin into the web content folder and then point to it?

Good question. Actually in runtime, default CSS and other resources are
embedded in a jar file. There is no problem in runtime. But in
designtime, WTP doesn't scan for such resources embedded in jar file. So
that the best way for us is to have those resources in plugin map and
customize loading process. We are trying to avoid making duplication of
those resources in web root folder.


Thank you.
