Manfred-
that sounds great!
Perhaps you are interested to write about the application?
Kito D. Mann is interested in "success stroy reports" for his Trenches series.

Actually I would love to, but the main problem is that I am using
some icon sets which the origin and license is not fully , I know they
are free but I could not find out yet under which license, so screenies
are somewhat problematic :-(, it does not matter for an in house project
but going into public with it causes a different set of problems, if I
am unlucky. Otherwise the project would have
been on Kitos site already :-(
Until I can replace those with something under a cleared license
this thing is sort of a "hidden" project.
I was looking at the Eclipse icon sets, for replacement, but they
did not meet my needs fully, lots of icons were missing, which I would
need...
I just wanted to give everyone a thumbs up from my personal experience
if he/she considers to use JSF for a project, it is a more than viable
option to implement something webcentric.
I ran into a number of smaller issues during implementation, mainly
caused by some bugs in the data table, and the tabbing system (which I
switched later to my client side one), but those seemed to be cleared by
now...
Also I did some early starting mistakes, because I did not know about
x:saveState upfront, which caused me to implement a somewhat rough
caching algorithm which merely does the same.
But besides that and the insane specs I got in last minute the whole
project was easy to program.

Martin Manfred and the others from vienna, know already the app, I
showed an early beta version to them in Vienna,
I could not show it publicly due to various reasons....
But just for the general public here is a small success story,
I did a JSF app, around the timeframe of the 15th of may til the 15th of
june (core crunch phase with some maintainance until now)
most of the controls currently hosted on jsf-comp were developed for
that program due to the "insane" specs I got in last minute, which I
could not get rid of.
So far so good, since the beginning of june the application has been
rolled out, it is an intranet app, servicing around 60 users some of
them working constantly with it, with around 12.000 addresses so far
hammered in manually.
So far not a single crash, not the slightest memory problem,
a few minor bugfixes in between, and the tomcat runs on conservative
128mb, with not even spiking the server which is a xeon server to 3%
from time to time.
The application was programmed against myfaces 1.0.9, running on a
Tomcat 5.5.9 under JDK 5.0....
I just wanted to share an internal success story, and wanted
to show that myfaces can be used perfectly for real apps...
It scales very well...
The app uses a combination of myfaces, some ajax controls,
some other controls like the client side tabbing pane,
hibernate in the old incarnation, and spring for
supporting classes in the middle tier.
It also used some effects from the script.aculo.us library
and from the fat library mapped into jsf tags.
The development time was dramatically reduced by the application of
xdoclet for standard CRUD masks (which the app consists of around 50%)
and the application of the generated classes to the IOC system of spring
merged into JSF, via the Spring JSF integration library.
