Hi Robert,
Use WAB fragments as described in section #4.5 of [1]. You can package
additional JSF pages, static pages and classes in bundle fragments and
attach them to the host WAB. The fragment contents will be made
available as if they are part of the same WAB. The host WAB file is not
modified any way. It's not completely dynamic, as the fragment
attachment requires the host bundle to be re-resolved, so you have to
somehow update (Bundle.update) the WAB after installing new fragments in
the system. If you are using FileInstall, you can touch the WAB file to
get the effect.
I was not aware of the specific extensibility capability of JSF that
Jason has nicely explained in his blog, so obviously I have never
experimented the same. A quick look at it tells me one should be able to
use it to provide additional JSF content served by a WAB. I will add
this to my TODO list to experiment. Thanks, Jason.
Thanks,
Sahoo
