Gang -
While looking at #{cc} expression handling, I played around with some
simple composite components and noticed the following behavior.
If I define a composite component, foo:outer, that accepts a facet:
<composite:interface>
<composite:facet name="caption"/>
</composite:interface>
And then use the component, specifying the facet:
<foo:outer>
<f:facet name="caption">
<h:outputText value="Hello, Facet! (Outer)"/>
</f:facet>
</foo:outer>
I find that things work as expected if I render the facet in the
foo:outer implementation:
<composite:implementation>
<composite:renderFacet name="caption"/>
</composite:implementation>
And also work just fine if I pass the facet into a Java-based
(non-composite) component:
<composite:implementation>
<h:panelGrid>
<composite:insertFacet name="caption"/>
</h:panelGrid>
</composite:implementation>
However, if I define a second component, foo:inner, that exposes the
same facet:
<composite:interface>
<composite:facet name="caption"/>
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<composite:renderFacet name="caption"/>
</composite:implementation>
And then attempt to pass the facet into the foo:inner component from the
foo:outer implementation:
<composite:implementation>
<foo:inner>
<composite:insertFacet name="caption"/>
</foo:inner>
</composite:implementation>
My expectation is that the facet would be inserted in to the foo:inner
composite component (via the <composite:insertFacet name="caption">) and
then rendered by the foo:inner implementation (via the
<composite:renderFacet name="caption">). However, the facet do contents
do not appear in the rendered output.
I wasn't sure whether this is a spec issue, implementation or user
error, and have not had a chance to debug further. Want to raise this
here in case anyone could comment.
FWIW, this is running against the Mojarra trunk. I have not tested
MyFaces. (I have attached the two composite components.)
