JSF composite:insertFacet and composite:renderFacet

Question

I want to have a composite component with a facet in it, which I implement in my "implementation" of this composite component. My problem are ids, because when I only define in my composite component and then with put my implementation in it, it only renders it but the component is in another place. Here is a sample code:

myComposition.xhtml

<composite:implementation>
 <composite:renderFacet name="myFacet">
</composite:implementation>

myCompositionImpl.xhtml

<mySomething:myComposition>
 <f:facet name="myFacet">
  this code is rendered but the "component" which I define here is not placed 
  logically in the place where I defined the "renderFacet". 
 </f:facet>
</mySomething:myComposition>

What can I do about this? With composite:insertFacet it doesn't render anything. I need to have the component also there because I need to know the client id of it.

Just to clarify:

Did you specify <cc:facet name="myFacet"> within the interface of the component?

Furthermore what exactly do you mean with in another place?

Some tips:

• renderFacet is correct, insertFacet is for facets defined within the composite itself.
• Try adding "<!-- -->" as the first line of content of your facet, this suppose to be a workaround for a bug regarding single line facet content.
