Description

with JSF 2.0, thanks to Facelets, there is a . While I understand
that tags/rendering behavior is part of the internals of an implementation, I am
not really sure if the underlying/related components should be "hidden" by the
spec as well.

For instance: I noticed that in MyFaces the UIRepeat extends UIComponentBase and
implements NamingContainer, while with the JSF RI / Mojarra, the UIRepeat "just"
extends the UINamingContainer...

... and oh yes... I know that UINamingContainer extends UIComponentBase and
implements NamingContainer....

but instanceof UINamingContainer doesn't say TRUE for the MyFaces UIRepeat
