Description

Lessen the verbose Clay XML configurations for each custom component library by using alternative sources of meta-data.

1) Extract the component definitions from JSP TLD's packaged with component libraries.
2) Extract Converter, Validator and Listener definitions from the JSF application factories.
3) Use java annotations in managed beans or other POJO's to define clay component definitions.
