The layout in Facelets is similar (if you got your last comment right) foo.xhtml: <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"; ... template="WEB-INF/masterLayout.xhtml">
<ui:define name="menu"> blah... this overrides the menu... </ui:define> <ui:define name="masterContent"> blah... this overrides the main content... </ui:define> </ui:composition> So... the foo.xhtml is just a simple "layout client". -M On Jan 4, 2008 9:31 PM, Anton Gavazuk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmm, > good idea about comparison...
