Cameron, I am not familiar with the issue, so feel
free to open a bug with a patch that represents your findings and proposed
fix. 

Some JUnit tests are always helpful. 



I'm not sure we had settled on having modelQueryExtension
as an official API next release (WTP 2.0) (or removing it), but sounds
like you are leading the way in finding it worthy of being an API, so we'll
be glad to see your results!



As far as what the method does ... I think you are
in computeCompletionProposals
which does what it sounds like, and is our team's effort to set the Java
Programmer's World Records by having the worlds longest method with the
most if/then/else clauses :)  We realize it basically incomprehensible,
and is on our long list of things to re-write ... but in the mean time,
by all means, suggest a patch to keep you going! Usually, seeing a patch
is the easiest way for us programmers to communicate on technical questions.
We'll be able to tell if your suggestion is in line with others, or if
its something completely different ... and we'll go from there. 





Thanks.

Re: [wtp-dev] Re: _expression_ Language
Support in JSP

















Thanks for the guidance David.  I have such an
integration question with respect to the modelQueryExtension extension
point and its use by JSPContentAssistProcessor:



When I have an attribute like blah="sometext" and I activate
content assist within the attribute value, my callback fires ok on my modelQueryExtension
implementation.  However if I have an attribute value containing an
_expression_ language identifier such as "${}" or "#{}",
then the modelQueryExtension is never called.  I have traced it to
JSPContentAssistProcessor:793 in the M4 code where an instanceof check
catches an attribute encoding for the latter but not the former even though
both seem to be attribute value region types.



Is this a known issue?  I could not find a bug in Bugzilla, but will
open one if no one is aware a duplicate.  



It is a significant problem for us in the JSF project because it means
that we cannot use this extension point to offer content assist for JSF
EL.  I am more than happy to help with a patchfix for this issue if
I can get a little assistance understanding the function in question in
more detail.







Best Regards,



Cameron

We had a "joint design and planning" call with JSF team on Friday,
(We you on it? Sorry, I didn't catch all the names, and have not seen any
minutes/notes from the meeting yet). 



One of the things we discussed was that JSF-integration questions could
be asked on newsgroup or mailing list and we would answer them as best
we could. 

Additionally, there would be biweekly such "joint design and planning"
calls for a while to be sure questions were being answered. 



Sorry I can't be more helpful, ... its only a shortage of time, not interest.

_expression_ Language Support in JSP





















Hello,



I'm looking into doing EL support for the JSF sub-project.  I have
noticed that considerable work has already been done to support EL in JSP
including parsing, content assist, validation etc.  Who would I contact
to learn more about current plans for functionality in 1.5 and how we might
hook the JSF efforts into what already exists for JSP under WTP?





Thanks,



Cameron
