How To Create Your Own JSF Components
- Simulate a rendered result before implement it. Use any HTML editor with a
preview option to see how the HTML you are going to produce works buy itself. If
some HTML construction doesn’t work for you, you save time seeing the problem
before you start to implement the component that produces the unsatisfactory HTML
code.
- Localize the JavaScript functions. If the rendered code contains JavaScript, be sure
this JavaScript code doesn’t collide with JavaScript coding in other components that
will work on the same page.
- Test how your component works together with other JSF Components. Check the
situation where your components insert other components or are themselves inserted
as children for other components.
- Check how the rendered code works in the different browser. Avoid browser-specific
tags or attributes.
- Keep rendering functionality as simple as possible. Never put the bussness logic into
the rendering functions.
