[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-2141) Support for EL without reflection for better JSF performance

This zip file ( http://sixlegs.com/misc/el.zip ) includes the entire project: Ant build file, JUnit tests, and all the necessary libraries. It uses ASM 3.0 (beta) for bytecode generation, and Jar Jar Links ( http://jarjar.sf.net/ ) to embed the ASM libraries when building the library Jar file. The source uses the same license as GNU Classpath (GPL with library >exception).

If people are interested in working on the code, let me know and I'll register a project somewhere like SourceForge.

Support for EL without reflection for better JSF performance ------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-2141 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2141 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: EL Reporter: Mikhail Grushinskiy Support for EL without reflection for better JSF performance. The idea is to add a new tag to declare types of the variables used on a page and use this type information to compile EL expressions into byte-code during initialization (deployment) Ex: If the page contains at the beginning <s:typedef var="myBean" class="com.company.package.Bean" /> then all EL expressions can be compiled into bytecode at initialization time (and no reflection will be used for myBean access. <h:outputText value="#{myBean.subBean.property}" rendered="#{myBean.renderText}" /> Some examples of implementation of compiled EL can be found here http://sixlegs.com/blog/java/compiled-el.html This should help much with JSF performance issues Thanks
