Initial check-in 13105

We found 2 problems with existing strategy:

1- In the RenderResponse phase each component iterate the list of 68
passThruAttributes to render the passThruAttribute on root element even if there
wasn't any pass thru attribute set on the component.

2- In couple of renderers there is a check to see if there is some
passThruAttribute being set on the component but it gives wrong information in
most of the cases.

We have added new strategy to deal with above issues.

In order to keep existing approach and add new one, we ended up adding an
interface called com.icesoft.faces.component.IcePassThruAttribute under core branch.

So if any component wants to use new approach of writing passThru attributes,
the component need to be implement the IcePassThruAttribute interface and have
to override two methods in the component class.
Let say if the inputText wants to use new strategy.

------------------
public class HtmlInputText
extends UIInput
implements IcePassThruAttributes {
//Due to the fact that every component extends Sun's UIComponentBase class that
//prevent us to override the following methods in some base class.
//so we have to add these two methods in component class exclusively.
//NOTE: These methods do not need any modification, they just require copy and past

public Map getAttributes() {
Map attMap = super.getAttributes();
if (!attMap.containsKey(IcePassThruAttributes.ICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAP))

else

}

public void setValueBinding(String name, ValueBinding vb) {
Map iceAttributeMap =
(Map)getAttributes().get(IcePassThruAttributes.ICE_ATTRIBUTE_MAP);
if (name != null && iceAttributeMap != null) {
if (PassThruAttributeRenderer.passThruAttributeNames.contains(name))

else if
(PassThruAttributeRenderer.booleanPassThruAttributeNames.contains(name))

}
//you can put your code here if any
//......
super.setValueBinding(name, vb);
}

}
}
-----------------
Renderer does not require any changes. TO render passThruAttributes the
following method need to be called as before.
PassThruAttributeRenderer
.renderAttributes(facesContext, uiComponent, null);

You can also exclude passthru attributes, as before.
excludes.add("style");
excludes.add("readonly");
excludes.add("disabled");

PassThruAttributeRenderer.
renderAttributes(
facesContext, uiComponent, getExcludesArray(excludes));

The core nugget has been checked in. The inputText is using new strategy for
now. I would like to implement it to other components when we have a dedicated
tester available.

Let's do ice:commandButton as well for 1.6.

Please create a new JIRA issue for the rest of the components and we'll tackle those in a later release.

It came across that Facelets uses different path for setting the value of the attribute which does not have any setter defined in the component class. However JSF uses only a single path regardless of existence of the setter. So we are losing single entry point. Mark is corresponding with facelets team on this issue.

Out of scope for 1.6DR#3, The changes has been reverted that was applied before: -revision 13461

Due to the fact that developer may want to set attributes dynamically using setters, in this case the list of passThru attribute must be iterated. So it has been concluded that instead of dealing with different paths, we should iterate through all attributes. However we need to fix the issues with existing passThru strategy.

ICE-3729 is how we're going to solve this particular issue.
