It is not officially deprecated, sorry if that was misleading. I tried to use dataList, and found that it was not updating my backing beans at all. So I did some googling and found a thread on the very issue. They said to use a 1 column dataTable instead and it was implied from the conversation that the myfaces team was not going to fix dataList. In fact they talked about recommending that dataList be not used at all or removed and just have the ability to use dataList rendering types (bullet for example) with dataTable. Unfortunately I don't have the conversation bookmarked, but you should be able to find it using google (look for updaing backing beans with dataList). dataList should work for read-only data, but don't bother trying to put input elements into it as it will not update on post.
