>>The more interesting question is: do JSF and Spring work well together?
I'm glad you brought up this question because from the Spring website and docs one would think that Spring just automatically works with any web framework and there is absolutely no issues of integration that even need to be considered. I have a very basic familiarity with both Hibernate and JSF. I know next to nothing about Spring so I have a lot of homework to do. I need to as quickly as possible learn to integrate the three while teaching myself a thing or three about J2EE Design and then use this knowledge to build an actual web application. Whew! Anybody read Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development? Have any other recommendations? I am currently reading Core JavaServer Faces and Core J2EE Patterns: Best Practices and Design Strategies 2nd ed. -Mark
