3. JSFC Attribute Feature in Facelets Tools Professional

Contents > 3. Facelets Concepts > JSFC Attribute Feature in Facelets Tools Professional

Facelets Tools Professional includes comprehensive support for the Facelets JSFC attribute feature and ships with an updated version of the standard HTML tag library for Dreamweaver that contains JSFC attributes for specific tags, as well as enumerated values and other enhancements to Dreamweaver's Code Hints feature for Facelets. It also provides JSF data-bound property inspectors and tag chooser dialogs for these tags.

Facelets Tools Professional also includes a powerful Facelets XML formatter and a Dreamweaver menu command with keyboard shortcut to power-clean and beautify whitespace in Facelets XHTML documents.

Since JSFC attributes and values are case-sensitive, this menu command also checks for and corrects any tag and attribute case issues in your documents, saving you much time and frustration by ensuring that your JSF markup is valid.

JSFC Attribute Feature in Facelets Tools Community Edition

Facelets Tools Community Edition includes the same level of support for JSFC attributes on standard HTML tags as Facelets Tools Professional, but does not include the Facelets XHTML formatting command, Facelets UI tag inspectors in Dreamweaver's properties panel, and does not provide JSF data-bound controls for tag chooser dialogs.

When Facelets Tools Community Edition is used in standalone mode (without JSFToolbox for Dreamweaver installed), support for the JSFC attribute feature is available but Dreamweaver will not display visual tags for Facelets UI, JSF Core, and JSF HTML tag libraries in Design View and Live Data View.

When both Facelets Tools Community Edition and JSFToolbox for Dreamweaver are installed, all the standard Facelets Tools and JSFToolbox features are available, and Dreamweaver will display visual tags for JSF and Facelets in Design View and Live Data View.
