Disabling Facelets Functionality for New Projects and Views
By default, the New Portlet Application, New Web Application, New Portlet View, and New Web Application View wizards create projects and views that conform to the JSF Facelets standard. View files are implemented as .xhtml files. This behavior is defined by the UI Development preference Prefer JSF 2.x xhtml Facelet Templates for New Pages.
You can disable this preference, in which case project and view files created with the wizards will not support the Facelets standard, and VDL files will be created as .view files structured with a proprietary
Software AG XML schema. You can still migrate these projects and view files to Facelets format later on. For more information, see
Migrating CAF Projects and .view
Files to JSF Facelets Format.
You can also override the preference setting when you create a view file. For more information, see:
Important: | You can still create and work with Facelets projects and views even when this preference is disabled. The preference controls only the default behavior for the creation of new projects and views with the CAF wizards. CAF supports the Facelets standard regardless of this preference setting. |
