Mailreader is for developers, not for people from marketing department. It is not supposed to be beautiful, it is supposed to show how common tasks are done with Struts: data in, processing, data out. How it is presented is not that important. I mean it is important that a framework can generate lists or comboboxes or trees (can Struts generate trees?). But the actual styling is of less importance. One just needs to know can he change the style and how easy.
I think that JSF should work better with XHTML/CSS-style web development. Spit out a generic list or table in a DIV and apply external CSS to it. It should be as simple as that. One can visit CSS Zen Garden for examples of how cool XHTML can look like. Michael. On 1/11/06, Frank W.
