I hope I'm following the new convention for posts--if not, anyone is free to yell at me. Anyway, this came up at JSF Summit: Right now, page authors do something like this...  xmlns:util="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/components/util" ...to access composite components in resources/components/util. I'd like to propose that we allow page authors to simply do this instead: xmlns:util="components/util" It's much simpler, and is almost exactly what page authors do in Flex. In many other respects, btw, implementing components in Flex is very similar to what we now do in JSF 2.0. david

I like the idea, but I'm wondering if we can still retain the URN format. Perhaps something like one of the following: urn:components/util Any other ideas are welcome. One thing to keep in mind that we are still hoping to be able to merge composite components with Java-based component libraries. So this would be a shorthand that would strictly be for sets of components which are composite only. To merge, you would have to switch to a formal URL syntax. -Dan On Mon, Dec 7, 2009 at 3:43 PM, Lincoln Baxter, III <lincolnbaxter(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > +1, +1 > > Lincoln Baxter III > http://ocpsoft.com > http://scrumshark.com > Keep it simple. > > On Dec 7, 2009 3:08 PM, "David Geary" <clarity.training(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > Ok, sure.
