Hi Maarten, with Facelets you do not need <f:view>.
Yesterday, I run into similar issues regarding to duplicate DOCTYPE tags. I solved it by declaring the DOCTYPE in my .xhtml layout file and avoid using <tr:document>. Instead, I'm using html, trh:head and trh:body inside my global layout template and using ui:composition inside all content files. I'm still porting my application to Facelets, but could solve the initial problems. -- Regards, Mathias > -----Original Message----- > From: Maarten Dirkse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 6:04 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [Trinidad] Facelets + XHTML breaks Trinidad > > > Hi, > I'm migrating an existing JSP project to use facelets, and > ran into the > following issue: > > I discovered that the Trinidad renderkit doesn't producing valid XHTML > (at least when used with facelets).
