You might want to look at Sun's Creator and components as it has a grid and a flow layout manager although the positions are rendered with CSS -- you just don't have to worry about it though!

But what I really miss is a nice LayoutManager like BoarderLayout or GridBagLayout in Java. Is there any way to do simple JSF using LayoutManagers? It would be so great if one could use JSF like this: <panelGrid layout="GridBagLayout"> <any-JSF-component x="1" y="1"/> <any-JSF-component x="1" y="2"/> <any-JSF-component x="2" y="1"/> <any-JSF-component x="2" y="2"/> </panelGrid> Same for Border: <panelGrid layout="BorderLayout"> <any-JSF-component direction="north"/> <any-JSF-component direction="west"/> <any-JSF-component direction="center"/> <any-JSF-component direction="east"/> </panelGrid> Or the like. You know what I'm talking about. Is there any easy way to do this? I don't think it would be nice to use <div>'s with CSS... If so, great. If not, I'm really thinking about to create a custom component that can render all other JSF elements, but which is able to handle some basic layoutmanagers. Summary: Flowlayout: would be very easy to do NullLayout could be done using html tables and some wierd hights and widths BorderLayout: could be done using html tables and col/rowspan GridBagLayout: could be done using html tables and col/rowspan GidLayout: just a simple html table Any feedback?
