Some notes on Javapolis and jsf where Martin couldn't fill in.Sadly, the summary will be very short as I left early today and didn't
get to see the three other JSF sessions that were happening today and
tomorrow.
I got there late and had a cold so I couldn't meet you guys on Monday. I was dissapointed about that.
The talk by Roger was good. He presented the new features which will be present in JSF 1.2. He also showed off some of the new stuff coming with Fisheye and the components sun has developed. There are some really nice and powerful little AJAX components here. However from what I understood they are JSF 1.2 compatible only. They can be checked out in the bpcatalog [https://bpcatalog.dev.java.net/].David Geary talked about Shale - I guess it was the same content than
over at ApacheCon.
It was quite good. Shale seems like a an ideal solution for separating the development of html and JSF which is perfect if you have web-designers doing html and developers doing java+jsf development..
There will also be a "Bitter JSF" talk tomorrow - don't ask me about
the content of that one ;)
This was also a nice talk. It basically highlighted some of the common trip wires people fall over when using JSF. There was also a good positive tips section however sadly Stijn didn't have the time to get through it all. I talked further with Stijn afterwards and he showed me some cool things he's using. The slides will be online soon enough I believe.
He was using Selenium for testing his JSF application. It's quite a cool piece of software and it's also free :)
Head over to http://www.openqa.org/selenium/ to check it out.
