[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1661) Use more templating in seam-gen

Matt Drees commented on JBSEAM-1661:
------------------------------------

Another potential situation for duplication:

You have a table A with foreign keys to both tables B and C.  

Both b.xhtml and c.xhtml will have a rich:tab with a rich:datatable listing the a's they're associated with.  This code is identical, except for the references to bHome and cHome.

This would be a perfect situation to split the listing code into a separate file.

> Seam-gen'ed apps tend to look very copy-pasted, which makes it difficult to tweak things once created.  It'd be nice if it used more templating and/or source tags (maybe going as far as using Rick Hightower's <a:field fieldName="title" entity="#{CDManagerBean.cd}" /> tag (see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-facelets/index.html and http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-facelets2.html)).
> Also, I think it would be good for people new to JSF to see good patterns in an example app.  The downside is it's more complex, but I think it's worth it.
