Mike, What do you mean by "not supported in the core"?
A GET request turns into an initial render request - no phases other than Render Response - but Jacob's entirely correct that JSF *does* support GET, and you can funnel request parameters directly into your managed beans. This is definitely supported by the core, required by the spec, etc. No theory here. I guess my question is - what else do you want out of a GET request? What specifically is supported "in theory", but not in practice? I can imagine things, but I'm curious what you're after. -- Adam On 4/13/06, Mike Kienenberger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 4/13/06, Hubert Rabago <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Jacob Hookom, in discussing JSF myths [1], claims that: > > > > "Also, JSF can handle GET requests just as easily as other frameworks. > > > > Is there any truth to this?
