The <f:facet> tag is not actually a component tag at all ... it's just a way
to attach a facet component to an owning component. Therefore, facets do
not participate in the tree walk that causes the view to be rendered.
Anything done with a facet is the responsibility of the owning component.
Essentially, <f:facet> is just the equivalent of the following programmatic
actions:
UIComponent owner = ... // Create the owning component somehow
UIComponent facet = ... // Create the facet somehow
owner.getFacets().put("facetName", facet);
Anybody know ?
