Myfaces 2.0.5.
I have been reading the JSF docs on the f:metadata tag..., e.g.
http://javaserverfaces.java.net/nonav/docs/2.0/vdldocs/facelets/f/metadata.htmland
http://myfaces.apache.org/core20/myfaces-impl/tlddoc-facelets/index.html
I cannot seem to get f:metadata to work, e.g.
*/WEB-INF/templates/basic.xhtml*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";
>
<h:head>
<ui:insert name="header"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view>
<ui:insert name="metadata"/>
<ui:insert name="content"/>
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
and then reference that template
*/test.xhtml*
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";
template="/WEB-INF/templates/basic.xhtml">
<ui:define name="metadata">
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="id"/>
</f:metadata>
</ui:define>
<ui:define name="content">
<h1>The big news stories of the day</h1>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
whenever i try to access the test.xhtml view I get the following:
*[In Jetty 8.0.0.M2]
*
HTTP ERROR 500

Which says it's not the container...
If I try direct with no template, e.g.
test2.xhtml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets";
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";
>
<h:head>
<ui:insert name="header"/>
</h:head>
<h:body>
<f:view>
<f:metadata>
<f:viewParam name="id"/>
</f:metadata>
<h1>The big news stories of the day</h1>
</f:view>
</h:body>
</html>
Then I get:
javax.servlet.ServletException: /test2.xhtml at line 14 and column 21
<f:metadata> Parent UIComponent j_id1723811066_66bf44b9 should be
instance of UIViewRoot
javax.faces.webapp.FacesServlet.service(FacesServlet.java:205)
Which tells me I must be reading
http://javaserverfaces.java.net/nonav/docs/2.0/vdldocs/facelets/f/metadata.htmlseriously
wrong
Oh, before I forget, here is my web.xml

Any and all help appreciated
