Clay makes easy work of reusing a view fragment with what it calls symbols.
Symbols are a substitution layer before the EL becomes a binding object
For example:
<span jsfid=/widgets.html label=submit bean=mybean action="">
/widgets.html
<input type=submit [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED][EMAIL PROTECTED]>
This example uses one of the eleven implied HTML to JSF element mappings.
(No XML config required :-).
