It should certainly be possible to use JavaServer Faces in your view tier of a Struts 2.0 based app. > Will Struts be an implementation of JSF specification? That hasn't been articulated on the list of goals to date. If we want an Apache open source implementation of JSF, I would recommend it be done in a separate project (certainly can be overlapping developers if existing Struts folks are interested). The Struts 2.0 design should probably take into account where JSF is going -- watch for additional news in that regard very soon -- so that integration can happen in response to UI events from a JSF-based UI, but most of what we're talking about for Struts 2.0 is actually in the controller, not the view. > Will it be the "Reference > Implementation" (UHUUU)? > No. Remember that "reference implementation" has a specific meaning for Java standards, and the spec lead for a particular JSR is required to deliver the corresponding RI -- In the case of JavaServer Faces (JSR-127), Sun is delivering the RI. There is a (mis)conception, for example, that Tomcat is the RI for the servlet and JSP APIs. That is not the case -- the official RI is the "J2EE SDK" available at <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/download-dr.html>. It happens to *include* code from Tomcat, but this is the real RI. > Stutz > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
