I would not have answered if you would not have used the word
"definitely" ;-)
I'd prefer to use components only. With one exception, static texts -
but how many static texts do you have in an i18n enabled application :-)
Using components is just the base idea of JSF and in the long run I
think you are on the safe side using them.
For example, would you really write <img
src="#{context.contextPath}/to/my/image.png" /> ?
Looks really like in g'ol days with JSP, no?
Having <h:graphicImage src="/to/my/image.png" /> is not that much
longer, and saves you from the internals of the used servlet environment.
In the end it is all about personal preferences :-)
Ciao,
