Hi all, Thinking I've found a great idea for a small open source project as soon as I'll finish with the currnent product I'm writing: an adapter to use Groovy instead of (in some conf file) el expressions. I took a look at the web and I see that the general movance is already in that sense:
ADF faces has now native support for Groovy ( http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/2007/05/22.html), and Seam 2.0 beta seems to support it (I don't know how far). I'm know to JSF (6 months) But I know in the 1.2, El resolvers have been externalized so it's easy to imagine we adapt a Groovy resolver in that place. Seen what el does, I think theresn't a lot to do to have all interfaces implemented with the Groovy counterpart. Does anyone know if there's currently a project in that sens? I think facelets is a great candidate to support Groovy natively (or to define an entry point to scripts in general): that way it'd have both view (data) templating (as it already has) but also function templating (if I can say it like this). In fact this could resolve a lot of issues like 'why can't we pass a method as a prameter' and so on... Any votes? ;-p -- Zied Hamdi zatreex.sourceforge.net
