I am in the process of migrating an ADF application to Trinidad. The
application uses ADF Regions quite a lot because this has been a good way of
re-using components across several pages.
I saw the document on migrating ADF regions to Trinidad:
http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces/from_ADF_to_Trinidad#region and I followed the
steps
but this was problematic because of the use of jsp-include. The jsp-includes
were preventing the dataTables from paginating, for some reason. also there's a
lot more work involved because you need to create managed bean for each region.
The working solution that I found is the use of Trinidad's componentRef and the
region-metadata.xml, as suggested in this forum:

I found this componentRef approach to be a lot cleaner for re-using components
and migrating ADF regions. But I read somewhere in the thread above that this
might be desupported or dropped in the future. What's the verdict on this and
what's the rational? I need to find out if i can rely on this approach for
re-using components going forward. It works like a charm so far, but need to
find out if there are any known issues with this approach.
thanks.
