MyFaces doesn't like certain attributes to be left unspecified when certain components are used. Specifically, the 'alt' attribute on h:graphicImage and the 'for' attribute on h:outputLabel. Examining the MyFaces TLD shows that those are not required attributes, so are technically not necessary. Yet they are incessantly logged as missing, when omitted. Updated the showcase app to provide them.

Components that do not render themselves needed to set their rendererType to null, not an empty string, for MyFaces to not try to lookup the renderer and fail and print an error. This was fixed in the ACE generator.

This is generating a tonne of output in the log. Let's get it cleaned up for RC1.

I thought this might be caused by an empty renderer type. For example the MenuItemBase that is built by our generator.

public class MenuItemBase extends javax.faces.component.UICommand{

public static final String COMPONENT_TYPE = "org.icefaces.ace.component.MenuItem";
public static final String RENDERER_TYPE = "";

I consulted the component team as to whether this should be an empty string or something else (like null). Mark said he thought it should be null so I tried adjusting the ComponentArtifact.startComponentClass method to check for empty Strings and use null in those situations:

writer.append("\n\tpublic static final String COMPONENT_TYPE = \""+ component.componentType() + "\";");
String rendererType = component.rendererType();
if( null != rendererType ){
if("null".equals(rendererType.trim()) || "".equals(rendererType.trim()))

else

}

That didn't appear to help so I created this JIRA to capture the issue. Because it's a warning and because it appears not to interfere with functionality as near as I could tell, the priority is not high.

Assigning to Ken for component team assignment.
