I agree with that as well. It's worth it. I just wanted everyone to be aware of the time needed.
BTW, this is the off topic part, but has anyone looked at Flex. I saw a presentation on it the other night sponsored by the New York City JUG at Google's NY Office. I have to say I was pretty impressed. The whole UI part, is xml based, which is no different than JSF or the like. You can argue the whole Flash part, but it has it's advantages over AJAX in speed, being that it's a thick client ui. The real selling point for me, was their Flex Data Service module on the server. It's basically a messaging system that can be used to talk to other messaging systems or to call web services. But, the biggest sell was that it can be used as a push technology for your clients. That was really powerful. Java EE could really use something like that. No more AJAX polling for dynamic page updates. I recommend people just take a look at it. It's only beta right now, but next year, it could be a viable alternative for web app development...

Yeah, I also used Struts before this project. 10 months in, I'm still learning JSF! :) There is a lot to learn... but on the other hand, there is enough to keep me from having any desire to go back to using Struts. ;) Regards, Jeff Bischoff Kenneth L Kurz & Associates, Inc.
