[jsr-314-open] <h:dataTable> binding vs. ui:repeat

[Simon Lessard]

Hi,
 
Yes, Trinidad uses UIXCollection as the base class for all iterating components (UIXIterator and UIXHierarchy) which are then extended by UIXTable, UIXTree, UIXNavigation*, etc. The exact hierarchy is something like:
 
UIXCollection
-- UIXIterator
   -- UIXTable
      -- CoreTable
-- UIXHierarchy
   -- UIXTree
      -- UIXTreeTable
         -- CoreTreeTable
   -- UIXNavigationHierarchy
      -- UIXNavigationLevel
         -- CoreNavigationPane
 
 
Regards,
 
~ Simon

RichFaces uses the same approach too. I believe that iteration
components should be complete rewritten in JSF 2.1 using such
architecture. Does Trinidad tree comonent use the same base class ?
