Re: Shale and facelets vs. Shale and Clay

[Randahl Fink Isaksen]

My short tour of Clay documentation looks as if Clay is more heavy when it comes to declarations. It looks to me as if Facelets has much more default behavior built in, and that Clay requires you to write more XML to declare more about what you want to do (please correct me if I am wrong).

I have been googling for some more information about what clay can and cannot do in comparison to what facelets can and cannot do. I have been testing facelets for some time now, but I would like to find out if it is worth the effort to have a go at clay as well. I feel certain we will be using Shale, so the question is what support technology we will combine Shale with... Facelets or Clay. Randahl [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi 1. Yes, Shale does not depend on Clay in any way - Actually it is almost true the other way around too, bar some Shale utility function that is uses. 2. One of the greatest advantages is that Clay supports the OO paradigm with inheritance, where Facelets only supports composition. You seem to have some misconception here. Shale is a framework on top of ANY JSF implementation, much like Struts is a framework on top of JSP/Servlets. Clay works just as well with MyFaces as it does with Sun's JSF reference implementation I have tested and used both, and finally landed on Clay due to 2.

In particular I was wondering: 1. Is shale *completely* separated from clay so that using facelets instead of clay does not break anything? 2. Has clay got any advantages over facelets when used with shale because clay was built for shale whereas facelets is meant for any JSF platform?
