Re: Tiles standalone

[Carl]

I've found that I have been able to do everything I have wanted using jsf. You can, for example, "include" a bullet list in another page by doing something like this:         <h:outputText value="<ul><li>#{index.HomePageText3}</li>                 <li>#{index.HomePageText4}</li>                 <li>#{index.HomePageText5}</li>                 <li>#{index.HomePageText6}</li>                 <li>#{index.HomePageText7}</li>                 <li>#{index.HomePageText8}</li></ul>" escape="false"/> Carl Simon Kitching wrote: I'm talking about stuff like: <ul>   <li><h:outputText value="#{somebean.item1}"/>   <li><h:outputText value="#{somebean.item2}"/> </ul> which will render normally if the page it is in is the one redirected to by the jsf navigation. But if it's a page *included* into another, eg by using Tiles then you get: item1text item2text <ul>   <li>   <li> </ul> (or maybe it's the html first; I forget). Even &nbsp; will cause you problems. I bet if you "view source" on the generated pages, you'll find that the &nbsp; isn't in the place you expected it to be. Of course if it's just occasional usage you can work around that with:   <h:outputText escape="true" value="&nbsp;"/> That workaround quickly becomes unmanageable though for cases like the list above.

This is a real killer, and just yesterday I made the decision to give up on using Tiles for this reason; it makes writing pages really clumsy. I would love to know if there is a workaround for this problem that doesn't involve wrapping every bit of plain HTML in <f:verbatim> or <h:outputText escape="true">.
