Frank,
In my opinion I still belive the javadoc is not clear enough at this point.
Given
<h:inputText ...>
there is a well defined element for input, which will be added to the tree.
Let's move on to pass through
<input jsf:id="param1" type="text"...>
The spec says, add an element to the component tree, if "jsf:" (more
precise: an element of
"|
http://java.sun.com/jsf")|||is found in the page. Now, we have an
element of |javax.faces.passthrough.Element within |the tree. Can we add
an action to it? Or a value? Or whatever?
To get this information, the developer has to examine the class
TagDecorator. She may discover the <input> mapped to <h:inputText>.
But what happens, if a new element is invented for HTML5?
<newElement jsf:id="myId"...>
Because of jsf:id it will be added to the tree.
Again my questions: Can we add an action to it? Or a value? Or whatever?
Have I overlooked something in spec + javadoc + source? Maybe, let me
know. But IMHO, the spec/javadoc might be get more detailed here.
Herzliche Grüße - Best Regards,
Michael Müller

If so, she could simply read the javadoc of TagDecorator to see the mapping between the HTML tags and JSF components: https://maven.java.net/service/local/repositories/snapshots/archive/javax/faces/javax.faces-api/2.2-SNAPSHOT/javax.faces-api-2.2-20130104.160953-119-javadoc.jar/!/javadocs/javax/faces/view/facelets/TagDecorator.html
