That is a good article, thanks for pointing it out Geeta!
Ironically, I remember very well, that calculator example is the exact
same one I saw more than two years ago at a Java user's group meeting...
it must get the point across well :) I remember they showed all sorts
of state diagrams and expanded on it a bit, which made JSF seem very
overwhelming... this article does the exact opposite, which is a
pleasent change as far as I'm concerned.
I hope this isn't seen as thread-jacking, but I think it's a relevant
question and I'm hoping Craig or someone very much in-tune with JSF can
answer this...
I know you can apply styles to the various JSF controls... my question
is, to what extent can you do so?
Taking something like the panelGrid from this example... what if I
wanted to have the messages directly below the textboxes in a small red
font and the buttons to the right? What if I wanted to apply a
background image to the textbox to give it an inner bevel appearance?
Would this all be possible within the confines of JSP, and more
importantly, would it be a very difficult exercise?

I have only just completed the first article - and can't wait to get to
the next three! - but the first article is just *fantastic*. It's
articles like these which make Java almost too much fun..:)
