Imports: javax.faces.component.UIComponent, javax.faces.view.facelets.FaceletContext, java.io.IOException

FaceletHandlers can implement this contract and push themselves into the FaceletContext for participating in templating. Templates will attempt to resolve content for a specified name until one of the TemplatClients return 'true'.
