[jsr-314-open] Nested composite component facet insertion/rendering issue

[Dan Allen]

I suppose it depends on whether insertFacet attaches a facet to the parent
component or whether it inserts the contents of the facet inline. I suspect
the latter. In that case, you woud need to wrap insertFacet in <f:facet>,
right?

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.)
