Working with the CAF Control Tag Library
Composite Application Framework (CAF) version 9.6 and later contains a JavaServer Faces tag library that includes all CAF controls available in the Palette view. When you drag a CAF control to a View Declaration File (VDL) file implemented in .xhtml format, the control is added as part of the tag library. For example:
<caf_h:inputText id="htmlInputText" width="input20"/>
When you convert a JSF project with .view files, or an individual .view file, to JSF Facelets format, as described in
Migrating CAF Projects and .view Files to
JSF Facelets Format, the CAF controls contained in the .view files are migrated to CAF tag library controls. There is no change in control functionality.
For specific information about the controls in the CAF control tag library, see the VDL doc pages in
webMethods CAF Tag Library Reference. For more information, see
Finding Information about CAF
Controls.
Note: The structure of the control folders in the Palette view is different for .view files and .xhtml files. However, the control functionality is the same.
