Metawidget: PrimeFaces TabView support

In a similar fashion to my previous blog, the next release of Metawidget (v1.10) will add support for the PrimeFaces TabView component.

I have updated the AddressBook Example included in the distribution to demonstrate swapping in PrimeFaces support. So now you can add...

<metawidget>
   ...
   <layout>
      <tabViewLayoutDecorator xmlns="java:org.metawidget.faces.component.html.layout.primefaces"
         config="org.metawidget.layout.decorator.LayoutDecoratorConfig">
         <layout>
            <simpleLayout xmlns="java:org.metawidget.faces.component.layout"/>
         </layout>
      </tabViewLayoutDecorator>
   </layout>
</metawidget>

...and you auto-magically get (note the PrimeFaces TabView and the PrimeFaces Slider)...

Early access code now available in SVN.

Metawidget: PrimeFaces support

The guys over at Activiti recently expressed an interest in integrating Metawidget into their BPM product. They had a few concerns, most notably PrimeFaces support, so I thought I'd have a go at implementing it.

I'm delighted to say that, thanks to PrimeFaces' solid build quality and outstanding User Guide (over 400 detailed pages!) integration went very smoothly. There were a few minor glitches related to Mojarra which I will be working with that team to get resolved. But MyFaces works great.

I have checked the code into SVN ready for the Metawidget v1.10 release. I have also put together a sample project demonstrating PrimeFaces support which you can download here.
