Major Description
The "enabledOnUserRole" attribute accepted by most Tomahawk components (t:selectBooleanCheckbox, t:inputTextArea, etc.) does not have an effect when the components are instantiated using Clay. The "visibleOnUserRole" attribute does seem to work properly, however. Extending the components to explicitly set the "rendererType" attribute fixes the problem.
Example:
<input
type="checkbox"
jsfid="t:selectBooleanCheckbox"
value="#
enabledOnUserRole="myrole"
/>
When logged in as a user that does not have the role "myrole", the checkbox above still renders normally (in read/write mode).
Example workaround:
<component jsfid="mySelectBooleanCheckbox" extends="t:selectBooleanCheckbox">
<attributes>
<set name="rendererType" value="org.apache.myfaces.Checkbox" bindingType="VB" />
</attributes>
</component>
<input
type="checkbox"
jsfid="mySelectBooleanCheckbox"
value="#{mybean.myflag}
"
enabledOnUserRole="myrole"
/>
With the "rendererType" attribute set as above, the checkbox renders as expected (in read-only mode for users that do not have the specified role).
This issue affects many if not all Tomahawk components that use the "enabledOnUserRole" attribute (which is pretty much all of them).
