jsf and page fragment caching

Question

Hi,

Does jsf 2.0 + facelets supports page fragment caching, something similar to aps page framgent caching (example this tutorial http://quickstarts.asp.net/QuickStartv20/aspnet/doc/caching/fragment.aspx)

Regards

The answer on your question actually depends on the view technology in question. JSF is a component based MVC framework, not a view technology. JSF usually runs on either JSP or Facelets as view technology.

Both view technologies however doesn't provide an OutputCache like facility out of the box. You would need to create a custom tag/component for this. JBoss Seam has a similar component in the toolbox, the <s:cache>.
