Excerpt:
Senior Developer Dave Sag and his team at Global Apparel Network BV decided to get their feet wet with JavaServer Faces (JSF) by migrating an internal customer support tool from Struts. "We wanted a small and simple, real project to prototype JSF, having worked with Struts for years and built v1.0...with Struts. We migrated from Hibernate to JDO (Java Data Objects) at the same time, so that was interesting too." Instead of migrating from Struts incrementally using the Struts-Faces integration library, the team chose to migrate the whole application at once. Even though Sag believes there are a few things Struts makes easier, overall he found JSF to be simpler and more robust. The main mental hurdle for the team was thinking in terms of JSF events instead of Struts Actions.
