myfaces-extval-add-on - advanced metadata

this add-on is a collection of some metadata add-ons. you can still use the other add-ons independently. anyway, this collection allows some internal improvements and you don't have to care about possible side-effects. it just works.

currently the add-on combines:
- metadata provider
- virtual metadata
- conditional metadata exclusion
- metadata priority

the combined usage at your properties (of all included add-ons) looks like:



the separation is of course optional - since it's a feature of one of the add-ons, it's used in this example.

you can find the add-on at:
