And how about getting subForm into commons? I know that there's a subForm in Trinidad, Tomahawk, and Tobago. Seems pretty "common" to me, although I don't know if it's possible to do this one in a non-rendering library.
Perhaps this one should be saved for Tomahawk2. On 5/3/07, Mike Kienenberger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In simple mode, I don't think there is anything rendered by t:dataList. Only the children are rendered. I think the t:dataList should be separated out into a component that doesn't render and a component that renders. From the facelets mailing list, I can tell you that there's a lot of demand for such a component, particularly when the ui:repeat component (the facelets version) doesn't do everything that t:dataList does or when it's got a bug (which it currently has). Personally, the three things that JSF needs are page-scoped beans (such as provided by t:saveState), a non-rendering iterator (t:dataList), and partial validation (s:subForm). It would be impossible to do useful work without these in my experience. You can fake everything else by generating the raw html yourself. I can always find another component library for generating html.
