Develop custom component of JSF

[Himanshu Gupta]

Hi

I want to make a component of JSF say a lsit box which will have a attribute of roleID and depending on it it will make use of some property file and will populate itself. Can some one guide me in this ???

I am completely new to this topic as please give detailed explanations.

Thanks in advance for your help.

The best place to start would be to take a look at the JSF spec. You can look up the behavior for the UIInput component. Its not too hard to understand and you should be able to get started fairly quickly.. For implementations, you could take a look at sun's JSF RI(open source) or woodstock (https://woodstock.dev.java.net) also open source which builds upon this JSF RI. They have listbox implementations that you could make use of hopefully.

Thanks you for accommodating our naming policy, Himanshu.

I used Kito Mann's JSF In Action book to help me.
