In addition to this issue, Alexander raised the issue that f:insertFacet
and f:renderFacet are confusing. Not sure if there's anything we can do
resolve this at this point, but minimally, it would be worth ensuring
the EG members understand the difference (which IMO, is huge). In
hindsight, f:insertFacet probably should have been f:attachFacet, and of
course had an optional "target" attribute for Andy's case.
My point
was that
<f:facet name="caption">
<composite:renderFacet name="caption" />
</f:facet>
and
<composite:insertFacet name="caption" />
have to have exact same functionality ( although they may not do it now
) that will make 'insrtFacet' unnecessary duplicate.
But, at least, I agree that limitation that requires to have composite
facet name the same as target should be resolved, not only to have
ability to insert facet into different components but also to allow
component developer give more informative names for facets ( for
example, something like "userDescription" or "errorMessages" instead
of
"caption" for some special components ).
