Hi I use some components from the tomahawk collection and have written my own components as well.
Now I am in the process of packaging my own components into jar-files and have run into a nasty feature of the JSF configuration. It is nice that each component-jar-file can have its own faces-config.xml and in that way add its components to the overall JSF runtime configuration. It is also easy to replace a single renderer for a componen, just add the renderer to the jar-file and "overwrite" the renderer-configuration in your own jar-faces-config. This works great for renderers delivered by JSF itself. BUT as soon as I want to override a renderer from the tomahawk components I run into troubles. The config mechanism first inserts the standard config, then adds the jar-faces-config and at the end adds the configured (in web.xml) config-files. Unfortunately there seems no way to specify the order in which the jar-faces-configs are added. Therefor its getting difficult to override single definitions (as described above) when having more than one jar with custom components. How do you deal with that problem? Alexander
