Custom Components

Abstract

In Chapter 7 you should have learned that Facelet templates as in <ui:composition>, <ui:include>, and <ui:decorate> are useful when you want to split main page layout fragments into reusable templates, such as header, menu, main content, and footer. And that Facelet tag files such as <t:field> are useful when you want to have a reusable group of components in order to minimize code duplication. And that composite components such as <t:inputLocalTime> are useful when you want to create a custom component with a single responsibility based on existing components and, if necessary, a bunch of HTML.
