  Improving JSF by Dumping JSP

I think by extending Tapestry idea (adding new jwsid attribute to basic html tags)
we may be able to drop the view specification xml file.


For example instead of:


<img id="guessesLeft" height="36"
src="images/Chalkboard_3x8.png"
width="36" border="0"/>


And in addition:


<view-specification>
<component id="guessesLeft"
type="javax.faces.Graphic"
value="#{guessesLeftImages[visit.game.incorrectGuessesLeft]}" />
...
</view-specification>


we can use something like this:


<img
graphicId="#{guessesLeftImages[visit.game.incorrectGuessesLeft]}"
height="36" src="images/Chalkboard_3x8.png"
width="36" border="0"/>

    For simple cases, yes, you could put some JSF expressions directly into the template (and I know Tapestry allows this). But then you're back to having special, non-HTML pieces in the template again.

    There's may be a balance somewhere, but I prefer to keep the template files completely clean and keep all the JSF specific stuff in separate files.
