Thanks for the comment. Yes. The caller will call responseComplete().

So the caller would do the responseComplete after rendering the noop,
right?  If so, that looks MUCH better to me..  +1

hi,

I agree that we are trying to do too much in a method. Also talked with Blake 
about it. How about we leave the script and redirect to the caller, in this 
method we only do the noop writing? We don't do the complete response either. 
How do you like this then?

  /**
   * This method writes a<noop/>  to the response.
   *
   * @param context the FacesContext
   * @throws IOException
   */
  public static void renderNoopResponse(FacesContext context)   throws 
IOException

Thanks,

Yes, I agree Andy.  That proposed API scared me a bit because it
seemed that we were trying to do to much in a single method call.
There was a redirect message, a script and noop params.  If we can
separate them and use the real "redirect" functionality built into the
EC, I'm good.  :D

Hi Yuan -

renderNoopAndCompleteResponse()?
That's definitely the clearest of the names that we have discussed. :-)

If we go with "render", I can see three options:

1.  renderNoopAndCompleteResponse()
2.  renderNoopResponse()
3.  renderNoop()

I prefer the more concise forms (#2 or #3), though I think this mostly
comes down to personal taste.  Any of these are fine by me.

I am curious about some of the questions that Scott raised, eg:

- Should we consider just having FacesContext.responseComplete()
detect the empty response and automatically send a noop response?
(Interesting idea, though I am worried that  this might be just a bit
too much magic.  Think I like the idea of having an explicit API to
call.)

- Do we need a new method for the redirect case?  (Seems like this is
sufficiently covered by ExternalContext.redirect()).
