You should check the documentation for the component you're attaching a
facet to. If the facet you're
inserting isn't in the set of facets supported by the component, you
shouldn't expect it to be rendered.
That having been said, if you want to have the content of a facet
rendered no matter if the component
supports it or not (this probably isn't desirable with certain
components), you can use the
composite:renderFacet [2] action.
Here is the documentation for the standard components included in 2.0 [1].
