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

Use more templating in seam-gen ------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1661 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1661 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Affects Versions: 2.0.0.BETA1 Reporter: Matt Drees Priority: Minor 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.
