The only input I'd like to add is that if you'd like to use any of the 1.2 features, then the Sun RI is your only option for now. MyFaces is working on a 1.2 impl, but not sure when that will be complete. Maybe one of the devs can give some insight.
Either way, the Tomahawk components work well with either impl. I'd also
recommend Facelets over JSPs for your view...
Thanks,
If I well understand, you recommend to use : JSF Sun-RI + Apache Tomahaw
components + Facelets, isn't it ?

Subject: RE: JSF-RI, ADF, MyFaces, Facelets. I'm lost.
Our project started off using Suns Creator which is JSF-RI + a few additional
components. We quickly found the MyFaces + Tomahawk provides a much better
option and moved our entire project suite (6 apps) over to it. I purposfully
stayed away from ADF when making a choice as it still belonged to Oracle and
after spending 4 years banging against stupid Oracle bugs in my previous
company, I just didn't trust their quality control (I'm glad to see its now
open source). We did look at Tobago but didn't want to replace the view
controller and it seemed to have a small developer group.
Here are a couple of key points to consider when making a selection:
[1] the learning curve is pretty steep in all JSF implementations and, in some cases, the richer the component choice, the more learning needs to be done and the less documentation is generally available.
[2] user-group support is *very* important. Both MyFaces and Sun have large
user bases and active user lists but perhaps its worth while spending a few
minutes browsing through the forums to get a feel for (a) the type of problems
user experience, (b) how helpful (and fast) is the user community in reponding
to questions, and (c) how reactive is the development team to addressing
Azissues?
My money is firmly on MyFaces -- great support, great components and a great
product.

They are not concurrents. MyFaces provides a JSF implementation (as the Sun RI does),
while ADF Faces/Trinidad is a library of components with some added services. If you are
talking about "MyFaces Tomahawk"
, then yes, there is some overlap with Trinidad, but they are probably going to
be merged in future.
Right now, you will have some troubles only using both Tomahawk and Trinidad.
For example Tomahawk components will not be aware of Trinidad skinning system
and of its client validation framework. I think that it is better to choose one
of the two until they'll be merged or refactored to work well togheter.

my choices
myfaces + tomahawk component: all the gui you need
facelets: decouple design and component
ajaxanywhere: add some exotic behaviour non breaking jsf cycle
Thank you very much for your comment.
What about MyFaces and ADF ? They seem concurents, isn't it ? Why we
should one or other ?

Application Framework... I really don't need them.. I sense that
good design ad c couple of utility classes ca do anything you
need... IMHO

Hello,
There are few projects around JSF that make me lost. I've to make a
choice to start the study of a future project, it's time for me to
select technologies.
At first, I've to choice a Application Framework. Choices are
Spring, Tapestry.
Then a GUI Framework. Here is my problem, JSF is in spotlight so
looks to be a good choice, but there are several projects and I
could not make my choice.
Have you got an opinion which could light me ??
Thanks you very much.
cyrille.
