Define namespace in every single page - any alternatives?

[kal-el]

hi guys,

i was wondering if it was possible to declare the namespaces only in the template.xhtml file and thus not having to duplicate the declaration in every single xhtml page that's used in the template e.g.

define

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich"
xmlns:a="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax"
template="layout/template.xhtml">
only in the template file.

any suggestions or workaround would be much appreciated. thanks

The appropriate namespaces have to be on every page that uses that certain component, can't just define them in the template.xhtml, no way around that that I know of.

It's an XML thing. That's just how XML works. It's like import statements - they'd be annoying if you had to do it all by hand, but a good tool can make them painless.

Do you belive Red Hat Developer Studio is going to take care of this?

Any good XML editor should be able to do that, so I'd assume the facelets editor in RHDS would be able to manage it for you.
