current implementation only handles jsf UPDATES, not INSERTS.

(apparently inserts are seldom used, standard mojarra jsf doesn't seem to use them at all)

In a pure PrimeFaces view there's no JSF object. So the injector fails with this message:

Uncaught ReferenceError: jsf is not defined
jua-0.1.0.js.jsf?ln=AngularFaces:129 (anonymous function)

I observed an error message on this line:

var $compile = angular.element(document).injector().get('$compile')

Requesting the injector() specifically from the controller element does the trick for me:

var theInjector = angular.element(document.querySelector('[ng-controller]')).injector();
var $compile = theInjector.get('$compile');

Consider a JSF view containing an update="@Form". The form contains an input field that's incremented on the server side with each AJAX request. The input field also has an ng-model="myOldValue" directive.

The JSF response updates the value of the input field. Unfortunately, the old value is restored a short time later when the input field is compiled by AngularJS (because ng-model hasn't been updated).

For some reason, JUA complains about the missing contains() function. Maybe it's better to replace the two occurences with indexOf()>=0.

As far as I can see, jQuery is initialized before JUA:

Under certain circumstances the $injector object can't be accessed after destroying the child scopes. However, it can be accessed before. So far I didn't notice any disadvantage of retrieving and storing it before destroying the scopes.

This issue is addressed by my pull request.
