So you prefer to keep a rather UGLY behaviour, th eone where you never can be sure in which sequence the jar-files are processed?
It just makes it almost impossible to use a set of custom-components from external companies, if you need to override a renderer for example... I'd rather have the akward solution than chaos as it is right now... regards Alexander PS: I prefer the solution because i already have hit that wall. It was impossible to override a tomahawk renderer, because of this erronous (because not deterministic) behaviour... -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kienenberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 9:18 PM To: MyFaces Development Subject: Re: Require ordering of for loading META-INF/faces-config.xml files from component jar 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.
