Hi people,
Let me introduce myself.
My name is Rafael Benevides and I started to use JBoss Forge when it was called Seam Forge. I started to use Forge as a way to extend Seam Projects and adds custom components and libraries.
One of the features that brings more productivity to Seam projects is the Facelets Compositions. Based on the "Facelets fits JSF like glove", I (and some friends) started to write some custom components so instead of write:
<h:outputLabel value="Label" for="input" />
<h:inputText id="input" value="#{myBackingBean.property}" >
<f:convertNumber />
<f:validateLength minimum="1" maximum="10"/>
<a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="input"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="input" />
We could write only: <x:inputText label="Nome:" value="#{myBackingBean.property}" name="nome" required="true"/>
Anyway it was a great opportunity to see the big potentials of Forge.
With the advent of Java EE 6 and other JBoss productsI I hope to be closest enough to help in other plugins like a Picketlink integration (for example).
Please, feel free to post any comments about the idea of having a plugin (maybe a scaffold provider) similar to XSeam and also about the plan of a PicketLink integration plugin?
Thank you all
