(If JSF can work with Struts controller, then someone here can give me tips).
I am asked to upgrade an application that is based on the circa-2001 Model 2
JSP/controllerservlet architecture.
Given the amount of JSP work, I am strongly proposing (here in my company) to
switch to JSF.
I have a spent only a little time with the "Core JSF" book.
I didn't find anything that helped me with my most important questions.
If I used the JSF tags in my JSPs, and included the JSP taglibs and JARs, I
strongly feel the JSP will paint well. But when a button is clicked, the above
mentioned Model-2 based ControllerServlet will pick up the HTTP-PUT/request.
From there on, its the old world again, until its time to set the HTTPRequest
and HTTPSession for painting the next JSP (I want this to use JSF too).
(1) In order to use #{bean.property}
in the JSP, can I have the old word Handler code do as :- ?
request.setAttribute("bean", beanref);
(2) Since I won't be able to use the JSF's XML configuration, I would like to
confirm that, the application can use its own 'nextpage' framework as is, with
JSF-based JSPs.
Do you know of anything big that I am missing?
I have ben leaning too far from the current implementation here, without solid
foundation/understanding of how JSF can be paired with any controller (I have
heard about this many many times now).
So, hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks a million.
