Loose Ends

In this section, we look at the remaining tags from Table 5–1 on page 180, with the exception of ui:repeat, which is covered in the next chapter. We finish the section with a note on whitespace handling in Facelets.

<ui:debug>

When you place the ui:debug tag in a Facelets page, a debug component is added to the component tree for that page. If the user types a hotkey, which by default is CTRL+SHIFT+d, JSF opens a window and displays the state of the component tree and the application’s scoped variables. Figure 5–4 shows that debug window.
