f
Tag metadata

Declare the metadata facet for this view. This must be a child of the <f:view>. This tag must reside within the top level XHTML file for the given viewId, not in a template. The implementation must insure that the direct child of the facet is a UIPanel, even if there is only one child of the facet. The implementation must set the id of the UIPanel to be the value of the UIViewRoot.METADATA_FACET_NAME symbolic constant.

The implementation must allow templating for this element according to the following pattern.

viewId XHTML page, page01.xhtml

  1. <ui:composition template="template.xhtml">
  2.     <ui:define name="metadata">
  3.       <f:metadata>
  4.         <f:viewParam name="id"/>
  5.       </f:metadata>
  6.     </ui:define>
  7.     <ui:define name="content">
  8.         <h1>The big news stories of the day</h1>
  9.     </ui:define>
  10. </ui:composition>

Note line 4. The page author must ensure that the <f:metadata> element does not appear on a template or included page. It must reside on the root page that corresponds to the viewId.

The template page, template.xhtml

  1. <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  2.       xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
  3.       xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
  4.       xml:lang="en" lang="en">
  5.  
  6. <body>
  7. <f:view>
  8.    
  9.         <ui:insert name="metadata"/>
  10.    
  11.     <div id="container">
  12.         <ui:insert name="content"/>
  13.     </div>
  14. </f:view>
  15. </body>
  16. </html>

The page author is not required to use templating, but if they do, it must be done as shown above, (or with <ui:include> in a similar manner).
