(Maybe should be moved to the user list...) My recipe (for better or worse) is to use Spring with JSF-Spring, which offers the same functionality. The latest JSF-Spring, 3.0.0M3, has fixed all my little issues with it. The Spring bean creation is just much more flexible than JSF's and dependency injection offers a nice way to separate my UI backing beans from business beans. The one architectural issue is how to generically deal with null beans and exceptions that using factories inevitably cause. At the moment I'm using a TilesController to do forwarding in cases where necessary parameters for factory operations were not passed in and the factory would throw an exception and/or null objects. Not absolutely convinced that's the best way though, and this of course only works with Tiles, but the latter is fine in my case. Kalle
