Dynamically created ClientBehaviors do not call addComponentResource

[eclipse-faces-bot]

• If I dynamically create UIComponents using the new Application.createComponent( context, componentType, rendererType ), I find they automatically add any dependent resources (JS/CSS) to the h:head. This is fantastic.

• If I dynamically create ClientBehaviours using Application.createBehavior( id ), no dependent resources get added.

Am I supposed to add such resources manually? For example:

UIOutput js = new UIOutput(); js.setRendererType("javax.faces.resource.Script"); js.getAttributes().put("library", "mylibrary"); js.getAttributes().put("name", "bar.js");

FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); context.getViewRoot().addComponentResource(context, js, "head");

If so, how am I supposed to know what they are? For example, if I am dynamically adding an AjaxBehavior the exact name of the JavaScript file depends on which JSF implementation I am using.

Also logged as https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3610 (but got no response, so I'm trying it as a spec issue)

Environment

Both Mojarra and MyFaces 2.1.x implementations behave the same

@glassfishrobot Commented kennardconsulting said: The MyFaces team have indicated this may be a bug in the spec:

"the reason it does not work is because javax.faces.component.behavior.AjaxBehavior does not have @ResourceDependency attached" https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3610

Could you please discuss?

...and it doesn't appear to be annotated there either?
