I'm not sure what "statistics" you are looking for. I haven't done an industry analysis. But in general, JSF is heavyweight machinery without any substantial benefit. Simple things are complicated and complicated things impossible. It was obviously designed by (probably smart, Java knowledgeable) people that have no serious experience with web development. A well-known example is that it still doesn't work well with JSP (a technology for which JSF was designed from the start!) and it probably never will.

Am currently working on the pros and cons of JSF and implementations available, it would help to get some real time user feedback. Thanks Balaji -----Original Message----- From: Iordanov, Borislav (GIC) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2007 5:45 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: RE: New to MyFaces Viraj, I would highly recommended that you avoid using JSF/MyFaces, unless your organization demands it, and save yourself countless hours of frustration with an overly hyped up technology based poorly implemented and incomplete ideas.

Can you please tell me what the pre requisites for learning MyFaces are? Is it essential to know JSF for learning MyFaces? Can anyone without the prior knowledge of JSF learn MyFaces? It would be helpful if you can solve these queries.
