It should also include t:saveState.   Possibly t:aliasBean (havent
used it myself).

Maybe verison of t:dataList (the "simple" mode) that doesn't render
state?   This one is more of a stretch, I expect, but an enhanced
component iterator would be a good thing in commons.

Are the client-side validation parts of the validators going to cause
issues with a commons library, or can just the "server-side" part of
the validators be in commons?

I haven't looked at how this was implemented.

Greetings from the ApacheCon in Amsterdam.

It was discussed a lot on the list and Bernd and I are now taking the
time to layout a "apache-myfaces-commons-[SUBSET]-VERSION.jar" file.

Commons:
-What should go into a commons JAR?
Non renderKit related things like
  -Converters and Validators
  -NonFacesRequestServlet from Tobago
  -FacesContextFactory from Tobago to ensure a kind of common layer
for doing uploads
  -the selectItems component from Tomahawk
  -what are we missing ???

Build dependencies:
  - Trinidad's plugins/utils to generate stuff like the TagClass file.

The vision:
 Why this is needed ?
It is kind of hard to actually use only some "common" pieces of
Tomahawk. At least to add a custom validator, the complete jar is
needed. The vision is also to add some "common" pieces from
Trinidad/tobago to it.

For Tomahawk this will not mean, you have to introduce a new namespace
for adding the converter/validator, the "commons-jar" can be a rt
dependency so that the TLD file is only referencing to the classes
w/in the commons.jar.

What are you missing ?
We will compile a list into the MyFaces wiki, based on your feedback/comments
