How can I remove HTML comments in my Facelets?

Question

I would like to remove all HTML comments from my facelets before delivering to end users. Does any standard approach exist?

Answer 1

There are actually two ways:

1. To remove ALL comments, add this to web.xml:

   <context-param>     <param-name>javax.faces.FACELETS_SKIP_COMMENTS</param-name>     <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> 

   or when you're still on JSF 1.2 which doesn't use Facelets as default view technology yet:

   <context-param>     <param-name>facelets.SKIP_COMMENTS</param-name>     <param-value>true</param-value> </context-param> 

2. To remove specific comments only, use <ui:remove>.

   <ui:remove><!-- This is a HTML comment. --></ui:remove>
