Hi!
For what it's worth, you're the first person in the history of
facelets to need it, at least as far as I've read on mailing lists.
Yep, sometimes I have some strange ideas .... :-)
Would it maybe be better to create a rendertime-compatible version of
ui:include tag?
That is what I have posted on the facelets user ml. I just haven't had
the time to look into a better way to pass down parameters to the include.
It definitely will be possible I think, something like
<ui:dynamicInclude page="">
<f:param name="alias" value="#{backing}" />
</ui:dynamicInclude>
could be done (if it is what you meant), but I do not have the time yet
to dig into this - hmmm ... when I think about it I feel it might be
really easy. But then again, not yet - for now I'll stick with the
aliasBean. The param way will be equally (un)flexible than the aliasBean
yet - in fact - under the hood both will do the same.
Ciao,
Mario
