Hi Him
Congratulation to your "promotion". It takes "guts" to do something like
that.
In my career (>20 years) in IT, I've seen 3 guys doing that (including
you).
Looking for stuff that itches?
- offering a read-only JMX-Bean that expose some Mojarra internals
- configuration
With all the automatic config going on and the trend to assemble
big applications from independent artifacts, it would be nice to
fire up the production-ready application and then analyze the
configuration.
- some runtime/performance related info
Don't know if it already is collected, but in case...
- at some later time it might be usefull to be able to play around
with some
tuning parameters as well...
- number of views to be cached
- Annotation based validation
- on the MyFaces dev list talk is going on about a annotation based
validation
"module"
- analyze and make sure it works with Mojarra too
- How about extending it to annotation based
- validation
- conversion
- "strong typed" input fields
the input field could configure itself (length, max-length,
converter, ...)
from the annotations
This would be a cool feature for RapidDevelopment, because one yould
just make up a
managed bean and JSF could then reduce the tag-configuration...
In the annotation based "intelligent" component area I have a few more
ideas, which might make sense to be discussed...
Are you also on the ##jsf channel?
regards
Alexander
