Hi, All, I know this is a bit off topic. But really want to get an opinion about it from the Struts users.
The JavaServer Face 1.0, or JSF, has been released. It claims to be a framework for building web-based user interfaces in Java. Like Swing, it provides a set of standard widgets (buttons, hyperlinks, checkboxes, and so on). What I want to know is, can JSF truly facilitate constructing a highly complex user interface just like Swing does? If it can't, is Applet still the way to go(don't hear much about it these days. Is Applet dead? Is there an alternative to Applet when it comes to constructing a web browser-accessed highly complex GUI?) Given the fact that Struts already provides many features JavaServer Face provides(such as validation, internalization, and tags for constructing UI widgets etc), what's the significant benefit to gain by adopting JSF? or combining them?(I heard this is possible, and someone says it would be a powerful combination.) And the final question is will the JSF replace Struts in the future? Any comment is welcome.
