Sorry to piggy back on this subject, but since the topic has shifted to shale...
I am looking at using JBoss-Seam with Facelets as someone recommended that it is built more for JSF/Facelets than Shale/Clay. The topic didn't receive more discussion than that. I really don't know that much about Shale & Clay. Is there someone that has looking into both Seam and Shale? Are they competitors or would they compliment each other? Also curious if using Shale in JSF is a hack like trying to use Tiles in JSF (please don't say that it isn't as working with Facelets is a drastic improvement - like no ugly verbatim tags, and the ability to find components in different pages from code which you can't in the JsfTiles view handler).
