I'm currently looking at creating some components to replace common
patterns within my application (name, phone number, ssn, address, etc.), so that a developer need only add one tag to the their
JSP instead of dragging several components onto the screen.
I've looked at creating the components in a standard way (obtaining the ResposeWriter and then creating the markup), but cannot seem to figure out how that decode() method would work. In my case, I'm not just trying to run setSubmittedValue() once. I'd need to do that for every input declared within my new component.
I've also looked into using existing components (HtmlInputText) and adding them to a PanelGroup as children, and using the default rendering for a Panel. In this case, getClientId is returning a different value when the constructor runs and when decode() runs.
In both cases, I'm able to get my component to render to the screen. I'm just not able to sucessfully decode the component and set the submitted value.
Has anyone done anything similar to this that would be able to provide me with an example?
