AttributeValueRuntimeTypes

Identifier:
org.eclipse.jst.jsf.core.AttributeValueRuntimeTypes

Since:
1.5

Description:
Defines a mapping between an implementing class and an AttributeValue Runtime type. By categorizing attribute values types in an CMAnnotation file, we can assign types and therefore processing of those types using the CMAnnotation file metadata and context information.

This extension point is provisional and subject to change

Configuration Markup:

<!ELEMENT extension (attributeValueRuntimeType+)>

<!ATTLIST extension

point CDATA #REQUIRED

id    CDATA #IMPLIED

name  CDATA #IMPLIED

>


<!ELEMENT attributeValueRuntimeType EMPTY>

<!ATTLIST attributeValueRuntimeType

id    CDATA #REQUIRED

class CDATA #IMPLIED

>

The MetaDataEnabledRuntimeTypeProcessing framework will use the value found on the attribute-value-runtime-value property of a cm-attribute annoation to bind to a class that implements the type. That type may be able to provide processing for ContentAssist, Validation, Quick Fix/Quick Assist, or other context sensitive operations.



Examples:
see org.eclipse.jst.jsf.taglibprocessing plugin for examples of usage

API Information:
cm-attribute annotation elements can have an "attribute-value-runtime-type" property that maps to the id of this ext-pt. The property must be fully qualified with the extender's plugin id. i.e. if type is FooType, the property value must be com.foo.bar.FooType.
