Before you can extend generated JSF code for a client,
you must update the faces-config.xml file of the client to be enhanced
to add support for the new human task.
About this task
When you generate a user interface, a dynamic web project
is generated. This project contains the generated artifact, which
consists of several Java™ Server
Faces (JSF) pages, Java code,
and the required configuration files. The artifacts are automatically
packaged into an EAR file, which is ready to be deployed and run on WebSphere® Application Server.
However, you might need to extend the JSF client code if the work
scope increases. Before you extend this code, you must update the
faces-config.xml file.
To update the faces-config.xml file,
complete the following steps:
Procedure
- Generate a new JSF client for all the affected human tasks.
- Complete the actions in the following table.
| Newly generated faces-config.xml file section |
Description |
Action |
Where clause extension for open and
under work ToDos |
Contains the configuration of toDosWhereExtension |
Copy the newly generated faces-config.xml file
section to same section in the faces-config.xml file of the client
to be enhanced. |
Where clause extension for sub ToDos |
Contains the configuration of subToDosWhereExtension |
Copy the newly generated faces-config.xml file
section to same section in the faces-config.xml file of the client
to be enhanced. |
Application meta info |
Contains the configuration of toDosClientTypes,
toDosInEqualsOut, toDosMainInEqualsSubIn |
Copy the newly generated faces-config.xml file
section to same section in the faces-config.xml file of the client
to be enhanced. |
Navigation rules |
Contains the map of logical name-to-file name
for all infrastructure, overview, and main pages. |
Copy the newly generated faces-config.xml file
section to same section in the faces-config.xml file of the client
to be enhanced. |
- Save the faces-config.xml file of the client to be enhanced.
What to do next
After you update the faces-config.xml file, download the
ModifyEnhanceJSFClient.pdf file and sample (OrderSolution_PI_V7.zip)
in Understanding and enhancing the generated Java Server Faces client for human
tasks for information about how to extend your generated JSF
client for human tasks.
