[jsr-314-open] f:event mismatch between pdf and htmls

[Werner Punz]

Hello Everyone

Because I was running into this issue while programming a demo application,
I ran into a spec errata and am not sure what the correct behavior is.

Spec 3.4.3.4 for f:event states

The *type* attribute specifies the type of event, and can be any of the
specification-defined events or one of any userdefined
events, but must be a ComponentSystemEvent, using either the short-hand name
for the event or the fullyqualified
class name (e.g., com.foo.app.event.CustomEvent). If the event can not be
found, a
FacesException listing the offending event type will be thrown. Please see
the tlddocs for the <f:event /> tag
for the normative specification of the declarative event feature.

Now if we look at the corresponding html documentation:
pdldocs/facelets/f/event.html

*name* javax.el.ValueExpression
(*must evaluate to *java.lang.String) Name of the event for which to install
a listener. The following table lists the valid values for this attribute,
and the corresponding event type for which the listener action is
registered. ...

In addition to these values, the fully qualified class name of any java
class that extends javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent may be used as the
value of the "type" attribute.

Also, the @javax.faces.event.NamedEvent annotation may be attached to any
java class that extends javax.faces.event.ComponentSystemEvent. This enables
that event to be referenced from this attribute, as descibed in the javadocs
for @NamedEvent.


so my final question regarding this, is the attribute type now name or type?
