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

Should the navigation handler also look for welcome.xml, or is that too naiive of a fix? Why don't you just make the javax.faces.DEFAULT_SUFFIX .xml? I thought about that, but it begs the question: why is the default suffix .xhtml to begin with? Shouldn't it really be XML? That's what I've been trying to say all along. I don't know why we don't just adopt the suffix .view.xml. We could just do .xml, but I fear that would seem a bit too generic. Either way, though, would at least get us away from this notion that the templates are XHTML, which they are not. They *sometimes* produce XHTML, but I have found them to also be very good for producing RSS and ATOM feeds. -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.
