I agree with Jakob, nobody will know about a parameter like this (are they documented anywhere btw?). The effect (without setting it): for application developers JSF seems to be broken.

Hi,

Both suggestions for a name are reasonable, because they suggest
different things!

What Leo suggested (STRICT_JSF_2_COMPATIBILITY), is the flag we
(internally) have been discussing (and postponing) for a long time.
This config parameter would enable us to include non-spec behavior in
MyFaces core, which would make us fail the TCK, if we included it by
default. However, by enabling it via config parameter only
(STRICT_JSF_2_COMPATIBILITY=false), we would be able to fix obvious
spec issues already in MyFaces core 2.0 (e.g. MYFACES-2552) and still
passing the TCK. Thus we would not need to wait for the next spec
release (which may not even contain the fix....), to fix critical
issues.

What Mark and Bernd suggested is to include the fix for MYFACES-2552
and make a config parameter just for this behavior.


Actually, I think introducing yet another config parameter for (in
this case) very specific behavior is not the best idea, b/c no-one
outside of the MyFaces developers will use it. Introducing a more
generic config param, which would allow us to fix a lot more issues
which are just like this one, is IMO a far better idea.

Thus, my vote is +1 for STRICT_JSF_2_COMPATIBILITY and +0 for Bernd's
suggestion.

Jakob

+1 in general, +1 to Bernd's suggestion.

I agree STRICT_JSF_2_COMPATIBILITY is too generic. I think the param
should contain EL, TYPE, MAP, RESOLVER, NULL. And it should enabled by
default.

We have far too many strict JSF spec flags already ;)

  Hi

  @Matt Benson: Could you attach at least the fragment with the
solution
  for MYFACES-2552 ? so I can check it, create a patch for myfaces and
  write a page on:


  https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYFACES/Composite+Components

  with the explanation and the solution using a custom EL resolver.
That
  would be very helpful.

  regards,

  Leonardo Uribe

  Hi

  It should be a param starting with org.apache.myfaces, like
  org.apache.myfaces.STRICT_JSF_2_COMPATIBILITY

  The important part is that by default it should be disabled, to
  prevent receive over and over the same report.

  In theory, it is possible to write a custom EL resolver that check
if
  the base object implements
  javax.faces.el.CompositeComponentExpressionHolder and if that so, do
  the required stuff only on getType(). So, if somebody is writing a
  composite component that relies on this behavior, it is possible to
  write the fix in a portable way to both Mojarra and MyFaces (thanks
to
  CompositeComponentExpressionHolder).

  Note the change does not cause any side effects, because nobody
relies
  on the "wrong" behavior, and what user wants is components
work as
  expected.

  regards,

  Leonardo Uribe

  2011/9/21 Mark Struberg<strub...@yahoo.de>:
  Not sure about that.
  Does the param start with javax.faces? In this case we should
rather use an own internal one.

  Btw, if it's not in the spec even Mojarra would not be allowed
to use a proprietary parameter with "javax...."

  However, let's simplify the context parameter by giving it
a name
  relating to JSF 2.2 compatibility.  I submitted the final
  implementation for Mojarra, so have every right to add the same
to
  MyFaces.

   +1
   And if we create a context parameter, it should behave
by default as in
   the JSF 2.2 Spec.  If users want strict spec
(2.0/2.1)behaviour they
  have to
   set the parameter value.
