multiple faces config files

[Richard Green]

can some one explain me how to split my faces config file into two seperate files:

currently i have:

<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
<faces-config>
   <application>
<message-bundle>bundles.xxx.core</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>firstBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
au.xxx.FirstBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>secondBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
au.xxx.SecondBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
</faces-config>

am i correct in splitting them as follows:

1st config file:

<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
<faces-config>
   <application>
<message-bundle>bundles.xxx.core</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>firstBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
au.xxx.FirstBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
</faces-config>

2nd config file

<!DOCTYPE faces-config PUBLIC
  "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD JavaServer Faces Config 1.0//EN"
  "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-facesconfig_1_0.dtd">
<faces-config>
   <application>
<message-bundle>bundles.xxx.core</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>second</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>
au.xxx.SecondBean
</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
</faces-config>

It is correct, but there is not reason to repeat application section in the second file. The definitions of faces config files are merged together.
