Werner, Technically, this is not true - ViewHandlers can and should be defined as decorators, and I think all of the ones you list do so. So, in theory, these should all be possible to combine in a single application. Whether this actually works in practice is a different problem! For example, I know that the Facelets and ADF ViewHandlers work fine together - as long as the ADF one wraps around the Facelets one, not the other way! And ordering is (mostly) undefined in JSF, which is the real root of many of the problems. Once ADF, MyFaces, and Tobago are all under a single umbrella, we can work at reducing our set of ViewHandlers to just one with well-defined plugin points, which'd help go a long way towards getting our component sets working together. (Integrating the ResponseWriters would be a big second step.) -- Adam
