Ed, I understand that you needed a short-term workaround, and I'm overjoyed to hear you confirm to others that it's not in the spec this way.
I still think our time (the Myfaces committers' time) would be better spent creating a full solution rather than implementing the workaround. The workaround is only in JSF 1.2 anyway, and not JSF 1.1, so any solution we create under MyFaces is going to be different (or "incompatible") with JSF RI 1.1's loading scheme. However, it's open source, so whoever's doing the work is going to determine the initial behavior. :) On 12/5/05, Ed Burns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > At the time of the original discussion, we > > proposed better ways of > > > handling this which should be archived in the > > mailing list.
