I think I get it now (thanks to help from this list). If I want to use JSF 1.2 with Shale, I must use a J2EE 5 servlet container. However, I may not be able to convince my company to switch from Tomcat 5.5.*
If that is the case, I need to decide between the following two setups: 1. JSF 1.2 & Facelets or 2. JSF 1.1, Facelets & Shale Practically speaking, the main improvements in JSF 1.2 may not offer too much to me since I'm using Facelets. Specifically: 1. EL unification. Since I'm not using JSPs, this isn't a big deal 2. Improved Messages. From what I've read, Shale's info/warn/error methods provide much of the same improvements to 1.1 as there is "out of the box" in 1.2. Finally, I'll need to consider bug fixes, like the "multiple button press" issue. In your experience, is developing JSF 1.2 far superior to JSF 1.1? Are there any major tradeoffs that I'm overlooking? Thanks for your time and any advice. E-Mail messages may contain viruses, worms, or other malicious code.
