If you want to share a composite component between projects you should package it in a JAR.
But how would you do it? Well it is pretty easy. First include the resources in the META-INF/resources directory. E.g.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite"> <body> <cc:interface></cc:interface> <cc:implementation> This is coming from a JAR-packaged composite component! Hurray :) </cc:implementation> </body> </html>
And then add a faces-config.xml in the META-INF directory. E.g.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <faces-config version="2.1" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_1.xsd"> </faces-config>
And then JAR it all up.
