Description

After upgrading from Myfaces 2.2 to 2.3, templated transient views stop to work, raising "unable to create views" exceptions.
f:view transient attribute defined in a template seems not to be inherited by the final page correctly. With myfaces 2.2 it worked correctly, but in 2.3, there is a new check 

if (!view.isTransient()) ...

on FaceletViewDeclarationLanguage line 2128. On page restoring, transient appears as false.

A workaround is to set transient="true" on the final page too. Other option is to use a block 

<f:metadata><f:view transient="true" /></f:metadata>

on the final page (f:metadata doc says it shouldn't be used in templates).
