Re: [jsr-314-open] DRY and form with JSF 2

+1. Exactly what I was thinking. It appears we have two correlated issues here. I've found a need for the backreference in the past. It can be linked at build time. Of course, programmatic access would need to be aware of it if the tree is modified in a way that breaks the reference. That should be mentioned in the issue report, not necessarily solved here. - Dan Allen Sent from my Android-powered G1 phone: An open platform for carriers, developers and consumers.

If a reference to the outputLabel would be stored in a collection with the inputText by setting the 'for'-attribute on outputLabel it could be just taken from there and wouln't require runtime-walk of the component-tree to be retrieved. Such a mechanism to define (and resolve) inter-component-relationships more efficiently would be helpfull in many other cases where components logically belonging together are not in a parent-child (or parent-facet) relationship. A good (and recently discussed) example is form-based validation by a custom-validator where the validator would have to get access to (logically, but not nessesary hirarchically) related components as well. - Norbert -----Original Message----- > Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 21:17:22 +0200 > Subject: Re: DR... >    On Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 1:03 PM,  wrote: >              i think that could be a good enhancement. >  Le 14 sept. 2009 à 18:39, Dan Allen  a écrit : > >                            I've run into the same problem every time > I > > get to polishing a JSF... >        On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 9:24 AM, Damien Gouyette  wrote: >                 Hello,         >                   I have a lot of forms > to do and i don't unders... >                   if i don't set label on inputText, i have an error > > message like :         >  ... > a date.
