[seam-dev] seamfaces UIInputContainer problems

[Brian Leathem]

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
