Thanks, Matthias. I had looked at the smile site and it said it was now merged into MyFaces, so I was hopeful that MyFaces was addressing that. Do you know if that is a goal, or is it not even on the horizon?
Am I correct in thinking that if I use Sun's RI, I'm going to hit a wall soon enough if I don't (pay for and) use the Java Studio Creator? I checked out NetBeans 4 and didn't see anything related to JSF there. Do you know if there is a JSF implementation that gives any kind of head start with the non-jsp approach? I did read the article that suggests it is a good strategy and there is an example there, but that pretty much all I'm finding (other than that author's O'Reilly book, which is also more focused on jsp). I was hoping to find a community of developers and no dollar investment, or at least a Hello World that would indicate that this is a viable approach. Thanks. --dawn Take and give some delight today. -----Original Message----- From: Matthias Wessendorf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2005 7:08 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: Non-jsp HelloWorld example Dawn, no there isn't such an example inside of MyFaces SUN's RI contains such a facility (XUL) But there is the not more active smile project http://smile.sf.net It aims on realising a class base approach for JSF; similar like Bergsten wrote in his article/book: http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/06/09/jsf.html HTH, Matthias Dawn M.
