            Description

            In regular JSF/Facelets, when an html tag, that is not a UIComponent tag, is encountered, it's encapsulated as a UIInstructions component, which affects the component tree hierarchy in a way that's not entirely obvious. Let's say you have a panelGrid, with an html tag as a child, and then inside that an actual component.

            <h:panelGrid columns="1">
                <center>
                    <h:inputText .../>
                </center>
            </h:panelGrid>

            You might think that the <center> tag will be a component which is the only child of the <h:panelGrid>, and the parent of the <h:inputText>, but what will instead happen is that <h:panelGrid> will have 3 children: a UIInstructions child corresponding to the opening <center> tag, the <h:inputText>, and a UIInstructions child corresponding to the closing </center> tag.

            The h:panelGrid component will then render each if it's children into a separate <TD> tag, which will confuse the browser, since the starting <center> will be in a separate <TD> then the ending </center>. This is illustrated here: http://jira.icefaces.org/browse/ICE-5735

            In ICEfaces 1.8.x and before, we had code that specifically made the HTML tags become like components, instead of becoming UIInstructions, so that they would behave as expected. This jira is for replicating that functionality into ICEfaces 2.

            This is a jira for some of that previous work: http://jira.icefaces.org/browse/ICE-1092

                The attached test page can function with no backing beans. Mandeep, please use this to create a test case. The test passes when the optional icefaces-xhtml.jar is present if a value of "1" is displayed in the outputText.

                Not all extension points are available in JSF 2.0, but a similar technique should be possible:

                com.icesoft.faces.facelets.UIXhtmlTagLibrary

                • not available

                com.icesoft.faces.facelets.UIXhtmlTagDecorator

                • can implement javax.faces.view.facelets.TagDecorator

                com.icesoft.faces.facelets.UIXhtmlComponentHandler

                • The API javax.faces.view.facelets.ComponentHandler is present but no longer provides the key method createComponent() (instead this is handled by Application.createComponent())
