I've been historically pretty anti-JSF, so I hope this means something
in light of that history: this is *very* interesting and I congratulate
you on making it happen! I've had the same "I think it can be done"
thoughts about mixing the two, just never actually did anything with the
idea, so I'm happy that someone has, if for no other reason than to
prove it can be done. Kudos!
The one concern I have initially is about performance... as you
describe, running through all the normal interceptors, and *then* going
through the JSF phases, sounds like an awful lot of code to execute per
request. I wonder about how well this will scale. Time will tell of
course, but that is my one concern.
Good work in any case Don, I look forward to seeing this polished!

Great work Don! This is very cool. I've been saying we could do this

Heh, I know. After bragging about it after many beers at JavaOne, I
figured it was time to put up or shut up :)
I think it's interesting to think of the JSF lifecycle as a particular
profile of our interceptor lifecycle. Similarly, the Portlet support
is a different profile. For simple pages, you can choose a simple
profile.
Exactly. SAF2 makes a great controller.
Don, does this make SAF a full JSF implementation (minus the bundled
components)?
No, this requires a JSF implementation. For the example in showcase, I
used MyFaces. The integration code, however, doesn't require any
particular JSF implementation. If we were a full implementation, there
would be a ton more code; not something I think we'd be interested in
maintaining :)
