Mike Hanafey commented on RF-719:
---------------------------------

The MyFaces Trinidad project address this form layout problem. The standard input components integrate a label and message, and a form layout component is provided. Standard input dialogs are a lot more compact with these components. Some links to MyFaces and a small example form is included below:

> Panel for form layout component.
> We forms for user input usually have common layouts label, input control, place for validation error.
> There could be several columns of label/input pairs.
> Form could be viewed in read-only mode too. Would be nice it that could be generalized as a component to speed up
> layouting forms and improve readability of the code.
> (Although I understand facelets layouts might be used as well, but might be it can be done even nicer with a JSF component/tag).
