Re: [jsr-314-open] Facelets: XHTML vs. XML

To create a real Facelets comment, putting SKIP_COMMENTS aside, I have to do: <ui:remove><!-- I'm thinking of using <rich:dataTable> but I haven't added the RichFaces libraries yet. --></ui:remove> To me, that seems like complete overkill. I would much prefer if Facelets just stayed out of comments and like Martin said, we consider producing a comment with a tag (since producing a comment is extremely rare anyway). I would even support the idea of using comment markers inside the tag so that it is still possible to use invalid XML. <h:outputComment><!-- This is a comment with invalid <<XML>> --></h:outputComment> Of course, the comment markers would be optional...they just allow the template to be well-formed XML if you happen to use invalid markup in the comment. -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction http://in.relation.to/Bloggers/Dan NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.
