1) Yes, that's what I found out, too. Thanks ;). 4) Sounds good. At the end of each edit page I have something like anonymous wrote : <h:commandButton value="Save" action="#{whateverentityEditor.save}" /> | <h:commandButton value="Delete" action="#{whateverentityEditor.delete}" immediate="true" rendered="#{not whateverentityEditor.newOne}" /> | <h:commandButton value="Cancel" action="#{whateverentityEditor.cancel}" immediate="true" /> It would be quite nice to have it like that: anonymous wrote : <xyz:showEditButtons value="whateverentityEditor" /> Even the list page could get more decorated, so that I only need to enter the columns shown. The surrounding dataTable-Tags, the "edit item" buttons, the "create new" button, and even the "No items found" or other messages shouldn't be typed in by the developer explicitly. Well, there's a lot of work to do for me. I already have a working list/edit example, but there are so many more ideas. Pagination on the list page is another thing I haven't built in yet.
