Ah, that iterative approach :) I wish we could get away with that as rule here too. typically, we'll still a waterfall organization, by and large. We're the type of place you need three months of discussion to produce a BRD, TRD, so on and so forth, get signoff by everyone in the company seemingly, before anyone writes one line of code, and by then the deadline is so ridiculously tight that there's no way in the world you can do anything interesting with the project. Ugh. :) We're changing a little bit, slowly, and I've personally been fotunate to have been given a fair amount of lattitude over the years to just "git'r done", but it's still not easy. > :) The ones who get laughted out of my office are the ones who suppose > a strategy is more performant without a test suite to prove it. :) Agreed. One thing that is pretty good here is that most decisions are based on hard facts rather that suppositions at least. I for one *do not* assume JSF is any worse than Struts, or anything else, in terms of performance and CPU utilization. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Until I have some numbers to sway me either way I won't make any decisions based on those facets. And as Craig said, if it gives you enough benefit in other areas, some negatives might be offset. But the CPU utilization issue was of particular interest to me because of our hosting setup, hence my comments.
