----------------------------------------
Hi Lewis,
We cast to the AbstractFaceletContext first, because "our"
AbstractFaceletContext defines more methods than FaceletContext from the api,
which we need internally. However if this is a big problem here, which it seems
to me that it is, I'll take a look at those methods and maybe find another
place to put them in order to not have to cast to AbstractFaceletContext.

> Key: MYFACES-2629
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2629
> Project: MyFaces Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: General, JSR-314
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-3
> Environment: Tomcat 6.0+, MyFaces 2.0.0-beta3 API/Impl.
> Reporter: Lewis Gass
>
> I am the main coder on the Gracelets project
> (http://gracelets.sourceforge.net/) and have recently began integration of
> Groovy with JSF 2.0. In order for Gracelets to harness the already existing
> Facelets libraries it needs access to the TagLibrary class and the actual
> libraries loaded by the JSF 2.0 implementation. Since that library is not
> part of the JSF 2.0 public API, I have to write an extension for each
> different JSF 2.0 implementation in order to load them. I have been able to
> successfully integrate with the SUN RI with minimal code. However, in MyFaces
> Core implementation this code appears on line 135 of the
> org.apache.myfaces.view.facelets.tag.jsf.ComponentTagHandlerDelegate:
> AbstractFaceletContext actx = (AbstractFaceletContext) ctx;
> Gracelets has its own FaceletContext (which is part of the public API) in
> order to mimimize integration between different JSF 2.0 implementations.
> Since in MyFaces this is forced to be a particular sub class here, it breaks
> portability. Is there anyway this can be avoided?
