        My calendar reminder just popped up for this meeting. :) I
didn't arrange anything for it. I can throw a quick meeting together...
but I think it would better to reschedule this meeting. Will Tuesday at
1PM PDT work for those interested in attending?
        
        Thanks,

                Ok, lets plan for next Friday at 10AM PDT. I'll send
out meeting details early next week. If others have topics they'd like
covered, please send out your ideas prior to the meeting... that way I
might be able to have an example / demonstration during the meeting (no
promises, though).

                        Not sure if this is covered already in the
topics, here are some:
                        
                        - Explain what are the different elements
jsftemplating consists of.
                        e.g. LayoutDefinitionManager, ComponentFactories
etc
                        - If I want to create a custom tag for a new
feature, how to go about
                        doing that (e.g. you created <sun:..> for
woodstock tags, I would like
                        to create <jfreechart:...>)
                        - How to create new attributes for the custom
tags created above?
                        - If you have to contribute code to
jsftemplating, what kind of process
                        is there.
                        
                        Friday next week after 10am is fine with me as
well. Wed will not work
                        for me.

                                Hi Karam,
                                
                                Sure, can we plan this for next week?
It can be open to anyone
                                receiving this email. We can do a WebEx
meeting to more easily see
                                examples / code. Here are some ideas on
topics, feel free to suggest
                                more. During the meeting we can pick
and choose from these topics
                                depending on people's interest:
                                
                                * Creating a LayoutDefinitionManager
                                * Creating a ContentType for the
"fileStreamer" feature
                                * Creating Handlers (not sure if this is
too basic to cover)
                                * Creating ComponentFactories
                                * Manipulating the UIComponent tree
(replacing or recreating portions of
                                the page)
                                
                                We could also talk about future features
for JSFTemplating if people
                                have ideas.
                                
                                I can meet Wed or Fri of next week after
10AM PDT. What would work for you?
                                
                                Thanks,

                                Ken,
                                Is it possible to have a developer
session where you can show how to add
                                new code to jsftemplating, flow of code,
guidelines, some tips etc. I
                                think once I have a better understanding
of the flow and what its doing,
                                I could help with some of the new code.
                                
                                thanks

                                Hi Karam,
                                
                                Yes, you should be able to use
JFreeChart w/o too much difficulty,
                                especially if there are already JSF
components which provide this
                                capability. You can use the <component
componentType="theComponentType"
                                attributexyz="..." ... /> tag to use ANY
jsf component. If you want a
                                specific tag for your charting
component, then you simply have to create
                                a ComponentFactory for it, which is very
easy to do... take a look at
                                any of the existing component factories
in
        
com.sun.jsftemplating.component.factory.* packages.
                                
                                I hope this helps!
                                
                                Good luck,

                                Ken/Anissa,
                                I know that you guys are trying to get
jMaki:chart component working
                                inside jsftemplating. Is it possible to
get some kind of hook for
                                jfreechart? jfreechart is more mature
and also there is some jsf
                                component already available for
jfreechart. Right now the problem I
                                see with both of these is the way the
data gets passed. There needs to
                                be an easier way to pass a array, list
etc to these and that is where
                                jsftemplating can help. Please let me
know if I should submit this
                                request.
                                
                                thanks
                                Karam

                                There are some attributes in a component
that gets evaluated only
                                when the component is created, not
during refresh. So, when the
                                page refresh, the component exists and
so won't go through the
                                creation again.
                                This seems to be the case of the 'text'
of a button. I also need to
                                re-create the jmaki:chart component
with new data set.
                                I am sure there is a way to force the
recreate, but not sure how.
                                
                                thanks
                                Anissa.
