Hello,
I want to be able to render a collection of unpredictive xhtml templates
inside a page
Actually, the only pattern to implement this purpose is the c:forEach /
ui:include one:
<c:forEach items="#{components}" var="component">
<ui:include src="#{component.uri}"/></c:forEach>
This pattern has flaws :
http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2548
http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2514
These issues (and associated) were closed as "Works as designed"
If c:forEach / ui:include work as designed, the obvious conclusion is that
JSF is missing a robust pattern to render a dynamic list of templates which
do not have flaws.
In my opinion this pattern can be implemented with :
- a new tag that iterates over a collection and is compatible with
ui:include
- a new tag that includes a template and is compatible with ui:repeat
What is your opinion?
Nicolas
