Description

The JSF-2 spec defines the <view-handler> tag to enable alternate VDLs via faces-config.xml.

Since there is almost no component library out there which works with the built-in facelets-2 VDL, this is a showstopper for a lot scenarios:

The way I need to use it (tried running RichFaces-3.3.3, Trinidad and PrimeFaces-2.0.CR1) :

in web.xml:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.DISABLE_FACELET_JSF_VIEWHANDLER</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>

and in faces-config.xml:
<application>
<view-handler>com.sun.facelets.FaceletViewHandler</view-handler>
</application>
