# Developer notes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although Java is a more stable platform than most, it is subject to
|
||
|
|
change over time. Here are some notes about futurization:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Java compiler
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Java 9 broke how introspection works. Java 11 gives a deprecation
|
||
|
|
warning. Later Java versions may not work using the current
|
||
|
|
versions of Spring Boot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The version of Spring Boot being used is a downstream consequence
|
||
|
|
of the version of joinfaces and the spring boot starter. Presently
|
||
|
|
an upgrade is not advised because newer versions remove CDI support
|
||
|
|
and thus the code will not compile without additional aid as
|
||
|
|
yet undetermined (possibly Weld).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Primefaces
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The version of Primefaces pulled in by the starters is 6.2. The
|
||
|
|
production version to date (2022-01) is 10. Version 6.2 is
|
||
|
|
perfectly serviceable, but changes will be required if/when
|
||
|
|
upgrading. The "listener" keyword on AJAX changes and the icon
|
||
|
|
names change as well. The 6.2 release use jQuery icons, not
|
||
|
|
Primefaces icons.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Joinfaces
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
According to the joinfaces docs, you can override the Primefaces
|
||
|
|
theme using joinfaces.primefaces.theme in the ``application.properties``
|
||
|
|
file. That is not true for the release in question. The working
|
||
|
|
override is ``server.servlet.context-parameters.primefaces.THEME``
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should be noted that webapp context initialization variables,
|
||
|
|
once set cannot be changed so there is only a limited time to set
|
||
|
|
them. An internal set for Primefaces 4 and later selects the aristo
|
||
|
|
theme if not overriden in the correct place.
