Thanks for bringing this up Jose,

The UIInputContainer component is indeed not useful as a result of this JSF bug [1]. As I see it, there are three options for how Seam Faces can deal with this problem:

1) Do nothing. Wait until the issue is fixed upstream, with an appropriate FAQ entry

2) Modify the existing component to use facet's as per Jose's suggestion. When upstream has been fixed, revert back to the less verbose syntax without facets.

3) Provide a new component that uses facets. When upstream has been fixed, deprecate this component.

Personally I think (3) is the best option, but we would love to hear some feedback from the community on this. Or, if you have an alternate solution even better!

Thanks,
Brian Leathem

Hello guys,

I’m working on the issue https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-93.

I did some tests and it seems to be a problem with mojarra implementation, there’s a registered issue about that:

http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-1991 which is linked to http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES-2040 that has a patch

but was not applied yet.

Brian suggested to use a workaround with facets as suggested in 1991 JSF issue, at least until we have an applied patch for that.

I made a preliminary test and it seems to work but it changes (big change I'd say) the way one uses the component

From this:

<sc:inputContainer label="Name" required="true">
<h:inputText id="name" required="true" size="50" maxlength="50" value="#{testBean.name}" label="Name"/>
</sc:inputContainer>

To this:

<sc:inputContainer label="Name" required="true">
<f:facet name="inputContainerFacet">
<h:inputText id="name" required="true" size="50" maxlength="50" value="#{testBean.name}" label="Name"/>
</f:facet>
</sc:inputContainer>

Do you have any others suggestions or if you don´t have a suggestion, what do you think about changing the component usage?

Best Regards,

José Freitas
