Hi; I'm still a newbie to JSF so take this with a grain of salt. JSF is a lot like the Mac - you have to do things it's way but if you can fit within it's paradigm, it works very very well.

Maybe a single find/list/view/edit workflow for the simplest entity you are likely to have, and try implementing it with the likely suspects. If your project hasn't selected a source repository, Subversion is about the best there is :) * http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0131855182/apachesoftwar-20/ And, just to round things out, my favorite IDEs are still by JetBrains * http://www.jetbrains.com/ HTH, Ted.

Now that I have found out there is more out there, I am in a dilemma. Which one should I learn and why? I have a big web project coming up and was wondering which of these I should choose to work on. This project needs good validation and object relational or sql mapping (hibernate or ibatis). If you have any books or site links to name, please let me know. > > Thanks, > > Bob --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
