Great job guys!

:: AUTHOR RESPONSE ::

Duh on my part, thanks for the reminder!

I've updated the post, cheers.

Great video. Reminds us what we are here for. Hope that people get the message and DO something worthwhile while they are here on Earth.

Just FYI- The song that's playing is "Fight Outta You" off the Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals album, "Lifeline". Great album.

ugh why did you tell them the name of the song they are probably just gonna go and illegally download it ripping off the great one aka ben harper. how could you do that

confused guy: You’re probably running into issues with the upgraded codebase of Word Press 2.1. They made some fairly significant changes to things and 2.1 will break many themes and plugins. They also haven’t updated their documentation to reflect the new codebase so it’s not possible to always know HOW to fix a broken theme/plugin yet. Before this PHP5 upgrade thing came up I was advising my users to not upgrade to 2.1 yet, but to wait until at least 2.1.1 or so.

So basically, upgrade to 2.1 and experience problems or don’t upgrade and experience problems from the PHP 5.2 upgrade. It’s safe to say we have the electronic equivalent of being between a rock and a hard place here.

You didn’t say what problems you were having specifically, if you do I might be able to point you in the right direction, I’ve already dealt with a few and been able to resolve them. There’s others I haven’t been able to fix yet due to lack of documentation. (Basically I know the problems is changes to a function or a new function has replaced an old one but the new version isn’t documented so I can’t find out HOW to call it properly. This is a failure on the WP people’s side to document the upgrade. Yes I know it’s free, I’m not really complaining, it’s just very frustrating with Dreamhost basically forcing us to upgrade now.)

Bedava okey oyna :First of all I would like to thank everyone for your inputs.

Regarding the post of renderKit :
The question regarding the renderKit is absolutely true and to be honest I initially thought to create it as a custom renderKit. However, in honesty, when I did began the coding for this project several months ago, the project itself wasn't broken into several maven projects as it is now. Recently I have been thinking of refactoring much of the code to make it more fitting as a JSF component library, like you proposed, and so I thank you for your input since it gives me additional motivation to make the change.

Regarding the post of JSF and Flex being different :
I guess my capability in wording my thoughts aren't that great, there's a surprise. Whew, been trying to improve it, but I guess it's more difficult than I imagined. Anyway, I do know that JSF and Flex do have a deal of difference between design and architecture and do realize that Flex is suited as a client side technology whereas JSF is server side technology. However in my previous post, I simply wished to show why I chose JSF as a web framework. My similarities that I was thinking of were such things as Flex being componetized with component, formatter, and validator and top ActionScript and top JSF component both having UIComponent as its name, which gave interest to me when I first learned of Flex and simply made me think of JSF while reading the book. So there were similarities here and there and because JSF brings flexibility in manipulating/creating the structure necessary I thought to choose it.

Regarding the post of illusions :
Haha, what is you say is true. I guess I failed to point out the target audience for this article. I did have JSF developers in mind when I began writing it and perhaps that's the reason that my wordings came out the way they are. Yes I do agree that individuals who are not interested in JSF will not jump into the project, since JSF is not appetizing to everyone. But things might change in the future and if they do, hopefully this project will be ready for various group of developers.

Once again thanks and I will contact you Ed!

Please refer to the project's website for the most up to date information as there existed much improvement to the project since the writing of this article.

Couple of noticeable changes are :
(1) Writing of MXML_BASIC renderKit that wraps around HTML_BASIC renderKit of Myfaces + Mojarra implementation. This will allow users to use HTML components alongside JSF Flex components. So the name of component14, component15 projects have been changed to renderKit14, renderKit15 projects, with renderers generating the preMxml, mxml, swc, swf, and etcetera contents. Of course the actual task of creating preMxml, mxml, swc, and etcetera are still handled by the other maven projects [commonTaskRunnerImpl, fileManipulatorTaskRunnerImpl, and flexTaskRunnerImpl]. Love modularization!!!

(2) All the JSF Flex components should still be under , but this tag must belong beneath .

(3) There now exists debugging enabled for FireFox:FireBug for ActionScript actions.

(4) JsfFlexHttpServicePhaseListener will be added this weekend or the following weekend for service calls from ActionScript to back end for populating complex components [i.e. DataGrid components which allow dataBinding by having DataGridColumns component's columnData field].

(5) Usage of Dojo 1.2 with breakage in MyFaces tomahawk component [don't remember if this writing was prior to or after the breakage in dependency]. So there exists no longer any dependency other than impl to MyFaces project, which is implied in prior statement with current support for MyFaces + Mojarra 1.2 impl.

(6) Usage of JSON jar for cleaner code and for future preparation when there might be more service requests from client side to server side.

(7) Added components under mx.states package.

(8) Added Jython Flex Runner impl which will be tested when Jython > 2.5 is publicly released for maven repo. Default is Ant Flex Runner impl and I simply created Jython to simply play around with it and for Python lovers out there.

(9) Improvement in various parts of the code [i.e better packaging of javascript and actionscript files and etcetera] too many to name [still ongoing].

Thanks for the interest in the project and if interested please sign up to project's mailing list
