Insert-Tag#
The Insert-Tag can insert UIComponent objects into the component tree. This is usefull when creating XHTML-Components with namespace http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/...Example#
Imagin a component which evenly distributes Command-Buttons in a form. You'de like to create a component (luckily this is already included in JSF Desktop). The component should wrap each contained component in a SPAN-Tag with some padding.Solution: You iterate through the children and write a span for each child. Into the span you insert the child itself. With normal JSF-Tags this is not possible, you need <i:insert>
