Hi Ed & all,
If you're doing this kind of refactoring, then I think you should move the
new "vdl" package to javax.faces.vdl rather than javax.faces.webapp.vdl. It
would be better that way since the vdl is not by definition linked to the
message transport layer (webapp). For example, it would be theoretically
possible to load a view without being in webapp (assuming the vdl doesn't
requires accept to a ServletContext) then serve it to the client using
whatnot technology (assuming that technology has a FacesServlet equivalent).
Which is exactly how we use Facelets in Seam...for mail and PDF templates.
We expect to do the same with VDL in the future.
