[news.eclipse.webtools] Re: Facet install delegate child facet mechanism

There is no built-in facility to support such scenarios. As a general rule of thumb, a facet should only interact with facets it depends on (come before it in the install order).

I would recommend making the web.xml change that makes sense for the JSF-only case in the JSF install delegate. A facet that depends on JSF would then override the change in it's own install delegate. This might seem less-than-optimal, but this way it is much easier to make sure that the right thing happens in all cases. For instance, the "facets A and B installed at the same time" case should ideally behave identically to the "facet A is installed first, then facet B is installed some time later". This approach also makes it easier to figure out what should happen on uninstall.

Hope this helps.
