foreword: I'm pretty new to JSF at all (I never tried using it myself - just examining some samples).

I'm currently developing 2 webapps (presistence+services layers) which are based on AppFuse of course. I would like to use Spring MVC for presentation layer, but I'm going to use ajaxified JSF components also.

So I did some resarch on view technologies and found very promising solution - integreate Spring MVC + new Spring WebFlow 2 as I read in Spring WebFlow2 docs - it can be integrated with JSF as described in it's docs:
http://static.springframework.org/spring-webflow/docs/2.0.5.RELEASE/reference/html/ch12.html
It's written there that WebFlow2 can be integrated with Jboss RichFaces out of the box, I don't know how hard will be getting ICEfaces to work with WebFlow2, but I found that people tried that before:
http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/posts/list/9891.page
Also Spring WebFlow2 examples show how can it be integrated with JSF:
http://www.springsource.org/webflow-samples

There is additional bonus when using WebFlow2 - I read that it provides additional 'statefull' scope - flow scope, which is similar to 'conversational' scope found in Jboss Seam. I don't have experience in that topic yet - but I get lots of info about problems arising when it comes to implement long conversations (those with long user thing time between wizard/workflow steps) with tranactions etc - so having statefull 'conversational' scope would be convenient for me. Also Spring WebFlow2 docs states that one can use spring managed beans for JSF backing-beans, that also sounds promising (or maybe I'm wrong?)

I'm also interested in that topic, as I'm going to use ajaxified JSF components - probably ICEFaces, eventually RichFaces
if I'll find hard to integrate WebFlow + ICEFaes.

Does someone tried Appfuse wiht Spring Webflow2 + JSF (IceFaces/ RichFaces ?).

Hello,

Does AppFuse has got any integration with IceFaces ? Or not yet ?

Since we are planning to Spring in our next project, I would like to use
AppFuse but wondering if it really helps or makes it complicated if the
AppFuse and IceFaces integration is never done before.

I appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.
K.K.
