uploaded patch to jira - including extra bits for setting the dialog title using BodyRenderer.
A few quick questions also: Could we add the popup config entry to the trinidad config file rather than web.xml and allow it to use a value binding - this way we can test both from the same test/demo app? Quick questions: Should we use the height/width properties as the master setting for the dialog size, and only resize to content if they were not set? I guess we wouldn't want to auto-resize to content in every situation, or would we want to always initially set it. If we use the BodyRenderer approach to also set the dialog size, how do we ensure it doesn't keep resizing if the dialog runs to many pages? Also title will change as you move from page to page in dialog - I guess this is appropriate through. We have a few more options for closing dialogs also as the javascript component could even close modals if you clicked-off the dialog - in some instances this could be useful.

Danny, Could you attach that patch to http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ADFFACES-307?
