Meeting agenda 2012 09 03

Done:

• Most of the non-JSF annotations has been moved to Rewrite (66):

  • See package: org.ocpsoft.rewrite.annotation
  • Started to build a set of integration tests for it

• Created generic way to refer to converters (#65) and validators using an SPI ConverterProvider (and ValidatorProvider)

  • Should be easy to integrate JSF converters/validators later

Discuss

• JSF deferred bindings / actions. I see two ways to do it:
  • Add separate annotations: @PhaseAction and @PhaseBinding???
    • Pro: Simple way to do it
    • Con: redundant
  • Add single new annotation: @Deferred
    • Pro: Single annotation which could also allow stuff like: @Deferred(after=PhaseId.RESTORE_VIEW)
    • Con: Required for EVERY action/binding in JSF
  • Add SPI used by existing RequestActionHandler/ParameterBindingHandler. JSF integration can automatically plug in and add the deferral.
    • Con: Now way to distinguish class used in JSF from others
  • Obtain ELContext without FacesContext so that we can inject without deferral.
    • LOL, just found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1677555/how-to-generate-an-elcontext-without-an-active-facescontext
