    Correct usage of <f:view> <a4j:portlet>

    viggo.navarsete

      Hi,

      I'm developing a Richfaces portlet, and I've stumbled across some (not many!!) examples to use as a starting point. I've seen several mixes on how to put the <f:view> <a4j:portlet> and the rest of the code in a file.
      This is the way I'm doing it today, does anyone see any advantages/disadvantages?

      <f:view contentType="text/html"
       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:c="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core"
       xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
       xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich">
       <a4j:portlet>
       <html>
       <body>
       <h:form id="frm_richFaces">
       <rich:tabPanel id="testPanel_id" switchType="client">
       <rich:tab title="test1" id="test1_id" name="test1" label="test1">
       <h:outputLabel value="test1" for="test1_input_id" />
       <h:inputText id="test1_input_id" value="test1" />
       </rich:tab>
       <rich:tab label="test2">
       <h:outputLabel value="test2" for="test2_input_id"/>
       <h:inputText id="test2_input_id" value="test2" />
       </rich:tab>
       </rich:tabPanel>
       </h:form>
       </body>
       </html>
       </a4j:portlet>
      </f:view>


      Questions:
      1. Does anyone know the proper way of doing it?
      2. What should be the root tag:
      <f:view> or <a4j:portlet> or <html>
      ?
      3. Any other things to consider/have in mind when working on JSF portlets in combination with/without using facelets?
