Renderer is only partially functional when used asynchronously
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-3085
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3085
             Project: Seam
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 2.1.0.A1
            Reporter: Dan Allen
             Fix For: 2.1.0.GA


The Renderer, which is used to render Facelet templates, is partially crippled when used asynchronously. First of all, it throws an exception while setting up the MockFacesContext() because it tries to retrieve an Application from the real JSF FactoryFinder. That isn't going to work because JSF is not properly initialized. That leads to the second problem, which is that if the template has any JSF component tags, they aren't rendered because its not a real JSF environment.

I think the solution is to use JSFUnit to emulate a JSF environment so that the Renderer can be used asynchronous. Otherwise, we cannot send email messages that use JSF components in the background. The second solution is to document that you cannot render JSF markup in your email if used asynchronously.

This affects the /examples/mail demo application.
