Description

Trinidad's GenerateFacesConfigMojo filters out any faces-config.xml component entries that do not match the "typePrefix" parameter. This can be annoying, since in some cases it may be necessary to override component implementations for component types that are outside of the normal typePrefix.

We addressed this in a one-off fashion here:

TRINIDAD-1656 Maven-faces-plugin faces-config.xml generation does not allow ViewRoot replacement

But this solution is too constrained, as it only allows the javax.faces.ViewRoot component type to be replaced.

Logging this issue to request that we add some more generic solution.
