Fintan,
This indeed is a very nice feature to create a JSF page, starting from an XML document. It's a good start, but I'm also looking for an easy way to create a web UI for changing an XML document's content. If there was a good way of binding element/attribute values in an XML document to JSF components, you could have e.g. an <t:inputText /> on a page to alter the underlying document. It would also be possible to leverage JSF functionality for validation etc. Afterwards, the action method could simply send off the document to the backend server for processing, without the need to marshal/unmarshal between objects and XML.
