             Summary: Being able to create an empty JSF page
                 Key: FORGE-1594
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1594
             Project: Forge
          Issue Type: Sub-task
          Components: Scaffold
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Final
            Reporter: Antonio Goncalves
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 2.x Future

At the moment the only way to generate JSF pages is with scaffolding. When you create an application, you realize that these scaffolded pages are not enough and that you need to create new ones. To save time and help the developer in creating new pages, it would be good to have a command such :

{code}
faces-new-page --named mypage
{code}

This will create a mypage.xhtml on the root of the webapp directory. You could also give a different directory with :

{code}
faces-new-page --named mypage --targetDirectory admin
{code}

This will create the page under webapp/admin/mypage.xhtml. 

{code}
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
                xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
                xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
                xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
                template="/resources/scaffold/pageTemplate.xhtml">

    <ui:param name="pageTitle" value="mypage"/>

    <ui:define name="header">
        mypage
    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="subheader">
        mypage
    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="footer"/>

    <ui:define name="main">

    </ui:define>

</ui:composition>
{code}

The name of the page {{mypage}} is used for the title, header, subheader. But we could customize this using optional attributes for title, header, subheader :

{code}
faces-new-page --named mypage --targetDirectory admin --title Administration Page --header Admin Header --subheader Admin Sub Header
{code}

It would just create a minimum JSF page such as :

{code}
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
                xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"
                xmlns:f="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core"
                xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
                template="/resources/scaffold/pageTemplate.xhtml">

    <ui:param name="pageTitle" value="Administration Page"/>

    <ui:define name="header">
        Admin Header
    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="subheader">
        Admin Sub Header
    </ui:define>

    <ui:define name="footer"/>

    <ui:define name="main">

    </ui:define>

</ui:composition>
{code}

PS : I'm on holidays skiing, and the internet connection is really bad. So I could search for similar JIRAs if they existed
