Myfaces also has the aliasbean tag which is sort of a basic templating without controller bindings, very easy to use, but somewhat limited. Facelets somewhat seem to become the templating technology of choice lately facelets are similar to the templating capabilites Tapestry can give you and much easier to use than tiles. But before I have to answer questions about facelets here, I have not used it yet, just skipped over the docs and it looked very good on what I saw. I have used aliasbeans in three projects now, and although you run into its limitations from time to time, it is one of the easiest templating solutions there is, and definitely a joy to use, but for my next jsf project I probably will give facelets a testrun. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
