seems that mileage really varies We have heard from projects that they never would have made it in time without JSF given their scarce resources.
Thinking about the bad maintainability of System.out. webapps I am HAPPY using JSF. Wouldn't want to go back to those old times. And using Facelets even the "component"-writing is really fun. regards Alexander -----Original Message----- From: taylan saldiray [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 2:25 PM To: MyFaces Discussion; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New to MyFaces Iordanov, Borislav (GIC) ++ i have worked 6 months on jsf and given it up and wrote my html code direct into the servlet. the reason is: the whole control is under my hand, the rendered code is much simplier, works faster, consumes less space and is more flexible. we have spent one week for binding a table to a model and making it editable and ajax-able wihch took too much time. and when an exception occured, it was hard to detect the reason. one more thing which i disliked about about jsf was a big bug which was solved in newer versions but took much time for us and delayed the project. the reason was a simple synchronization problem where multiple threads accessed an object without synch.
