I have a question in remark to this site: http://docs.oracle.com - ui:repeat.
I've read:
How come it is that I can't figure out or read anywhere (that I have found) why I can't get to use the varStatus in my <ui:repeat> in my Facelets page?
It was introduced in JSF 2.0 Facelets (Dec 2009). This suggests that you're still using Facelets 1.x.
Upgrade and the problem should disappear.
