Re: [wtp-dev] Facet documentation

[Sachin Patel <sppatel2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

When could we expect an updated doc for the facet framework? Due to the 
post ops no longer being invoked, I'm now highly dependent on creating 
facets. However, the existing documentation is lacking basic info such 
as what the extension point id's are nor does it have any concrete 
examples I can go by.

Could someone point me to examples and I can use in the meantime?

On a side note, as much functional content and areas of extensibility 
that is in WTP, I believe a large part of the success of WTP 1.0 will be 
highly dependent on the amount of documentation that is provided for 
developers. I think at minimum every extension point in WTP needs to be 
listed and described in the help as well as examples provided for those 
extension points. I think there is already a bugzilla open for this. I 
hope the severity of it can be bumped up. Its important that we show the 
community not only what function WTP provides out of the box, but even 
more importantly how developers can exploit WTP as a framework and thus 
stressing the importance of developer doc being available.

Thanks,

Sachin
