Craig, I'm glad you're enjoying working with Rails, but I don't see Shale and JSF as "Java related frameworks" if you're willing to integrate them with scripting languages (such as Ruby or Groovy) on the JVM. It seems to me that might be more of a logical focus. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kito D.
