Didn't you implement a custom ViewHandler? I just read the chapter "Developing a custom presentation layer" (Bergsten, Hans: JSF), where using Java classes as Views is described. But Bergsten implements a custom ViewHandler. And the problem I see with a custom ViewHandler is, that one can use only one ViewHandler in a JSF app at one time, and have to configure it in the faces-config.xml file. So how to switch between the ViewHandler implementations (default and custom) at runtime? Looks like the "placeholder" approach is a possible alternative... > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Auftrag > von Werner Punz > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29.
