This is a good article. I don't mind criticism of JSF (or MyFaces) from people who have taken the time to seriously explore it. Its hard to dimiss a new technology unless you have given it a serious try.
These guys have used JSF for an application and *then* reached their final conclusions. For the most part, their criticisms of the spec and MyFaces are spot on. I would have liked to have seen a rundown of what they liked about JSF in addition to a list of problems and how they solved them. sean On 8/8/05, CONNER, BRENDAN (SBCSI) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, it is a good article.
