I am a JSF programmer, inheriting a project from someone else.

We have a lot of duplicated code in several places, where the only
difference is a different managed bean.

There are over 10 pages where you could cut and paste page A into page
B, and search and replace the bean (that is probably what someone did).

I am wondering what is the right way to handle this?

My coworker said she wanted me to write a custom tag that would serve
the purpose of the duplicated code, we would just give a different
bean.

I thought that was overkill.

I was just wondering what is the "correct" way to handle this issue?

Thanks

Kal
