The composite PDL currently has an exmaple component, which takes up a rather large amount of space, and, I feel, doesn't really give a lot of information for someone coming to the technology for the first time.<br>
<br>
At the same time, important information like the specialness of the values "action", "actionListener", "validator", and<br>
"valueChangeListener" are buried in the name attribute of the composite:attribute page.<br>
<br>
I think we might be better served by removing the example (or else, using a much smaller and simpler example), and including information like the special names in that freed space.<br>
<br>
What do you guys think? Am I off base?<br>
<br>
I've filed the following spec issue 572 to track this:<br>
<a href="https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bugcgi?id=572" target="_blank">https://javaserverfaces-spec-public.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=572</a></blockquote><div><br>+1. Make it simpler. After all, we are trying to demonstrate just how simple the easy component creation is, and frankly this example doesn't convince me (though I do certainly appreciate what it is trying to show).<br>
