Of course, facelets interprets html as 'just another namespace' and parses it exactly the same: <ui:composition template="blah.xhtml"> | <form action="j_security_check" method="post"> | <label for="j_username">#{messages['username']}</label> | <input type="text" name="j_username" /> | <br /> | <label for="j_password">#{messages['password']}</label> | <input type="password" name="j_password" /> | <br /> | <input type="submit" value="#{messages['login']}" id="Submit" /> | </form> | </ui:composition> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3985386#...
