Just sharing this email conversation between Ken and myself with the rest of
the group. I wanted to talk about this at the meeting, but I called in late
and nobody was there. So, I'm going to start on adding the links Ken gave me
here. It looks like the calendar is still not appearing on the Website, so I
am going to look into that as well. Can somebody refresh my memory about the
commands needed to update a CVS directory?
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Ken,
Are we having a meeting tomorrow? If so, you may want to send out a
reminder, because google calendars appears to be down.
Ok, thanks for letting me know... reminder sent.
i've also gone over the JSFT website. Here are some questions/observations
on the tutorials and set ups.
1) Is "sun:" always the prefix for components? If not, where is the code
that handles setting the tag prefix?
No... the annotation in the "factory" file specifies this. The "sun:"
components are the "Woodstock" components. There is some mapping facility
implemented in JSFTemplating, however, only the Facelets syntax currently
supports this... we need to implement this in the "template" syntax as well.
2) Facets really should be better explained. Maybe even a link to an online
source outside of java.net would be a good idea.
Facets or Facelets? I agree, we can and should link to info on both.
3) Event and Handlers needs A LOT of work. It doesn't come close to
explaining to a novice how and why s/he should use these.
Yes, I agree... Leonid Lamburt recently provided an HTML page that begins to
explain the difference between handlers, we still don't have anything that
explains the advantages and when/why you'd use an event.
https://jsftemplating.dev.java.net/doc/eventsHandlersList.html
4) Finally, for developers on the JSFT project, it would be good to have an
area that talks about the project architecture including the important
classes.
Yes again! :)
In the future, should I be sending these sort of emails directly to the
developer list?
Yes, that would be fine... others can then reply and send in their opinions
as well.
Thanks!
Ken
