I have completed the conversion from sitemesh to facelets. It is merely a matter of substituting the proper templates for the sitemesh stuff. It is more akin to tiles than sitemesh. I also created a number of reusable components for layout and other items. I have blogged about the code and included it in an open source project I am working on called Swoop at Sourceforge. The conversion was time consuming over a couple of days but pretty easy. I also replaced all the jsp pages with xhtml pages and refactored the ACEGI stuff to run under facelets as well. I updated to richfaces including the skinnability included with a4j.

I was wondering if anyone has already contributed the necessary facelets
decorators to replace the functionality of sitemesh and common jsp's
(header, footer, ... ).

I am seriously considering switching to facelets layout management and
decoration, since sitemesh doesn't play well with jsf and facelets.

If you've done this switch, please, let me know about your experience, any
details are welcome.

P.S.  what would an equivalent JSF code for:

<div id="switchLocale"> "<c:url value='/?locale=en' "><fmt:message
key="webapp.name"/> in English </div>

what is fmt >> where are those messages from - session scope parameters?

Thank you!

We'd be happy to accept your contribution. There's a patch in
SiteMesh's JIRA for JSF, but I don't believe it supports Facelets.
I've cc'd the user mailing list to get feedback from current JSF
users.

Hi Matt,

First of all thanks for a great product by you and your team. I switched
to
hibernate and got started with appfuse with no issues past weekend.

Now i want to convert sitemesh to facelets layout/template. Once i do
that i
also would like to contribute the code to appfuse. What do you think?
Should
i proceed with the idea? I just wanted your permission and word of
support.


Thanks,
-saeed
