Facelet debug Tag
This tag is useful in displaying the component tree and
scoped variables. This information will be displayed in a popup window of
browser when we press Ctrl+Shift+(a key). This key will be specified in
hotkey attribute. For example, in the code below in "debugtemplate.xhtml",
this has been specified "p". So when page comes to the user
then if Ctrl+Shift+p is pressed, debug window is open which displays the
component tree and scoped variables.
