Might have been nice to spec this such that if either the tag name or
the namespace is specified, the tag is created, without requiring
createTag to also be specified.
That is:
@FacesComponent(tagName="fooLayout")
public class Foo extends UIComponentBase
Results in the "fooLayout" tag being created in the default namespace.
@FacesComponent(namespace="
http://my.namespace.org")
public class Foo extends UIComponentBase
Results in the "foo" tag being created in the specified namespace.
@FacesComponent(namespace="
http://my.namespace.org", tagName="fooLayout")
public class Foo extends UIComponentBase
Results in the "fooLayout" tag being created in the specified namespace.
Additionally having to specify createTag=true seems unnecessary.
