Hi Wolf, I don't know if I have badly read between the lines, but the message sun passed on in the Sun tech Days at Paris was: scripting is the future of JEE, and they proudly developped the idea with Groovy, Javascript, Ruby and others. Maybe it's just a coincidence that a month later, JavaFX is announced on many newletters...
Hi Werner, Gmail is good, I've received your mail while writing to Wolf :-). At the beginng of the JSF specification (2002 I think) I thought JSF will replace all platforms: I though it will be compiled to swing, JSPs, SVG and all we will have to do is write a sort of XML that will be transformed to these formats, then we will have bundles of css and other stuff specific to each technology's look: events written once and used everywhere, and design written every time. I think it's definitely not my own dream but the dream of every developer. I asked Sun if they plan to add an adapter to the servlet APIon mobility so we can take profit of all tools (IDEs) and technologies (eg. MyFaces) already available for JSF (seen that all mobile devices support HTML today). Their answer was: "we don't plan to create servers on mobile devices". I think the idea was already there: "they were planning to provide a completely different technology". Regads, Zied 2007/7/24, Wolf Benz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Hi Zied, I went to a conferencce last month(JavaOne afterglow in Brussels) but what they were showing was JavaFX as a Swing replacement, not for the web. I'm not saying it's impossible/not planned - just that I've never seen any code/demo for it. Or any integration initiative. (FX & JSF e.g.) At first impression, it also seems quite verbose. (to my taste at least) -Wolf but the more I hear about it the more I think it's a good candidate to be > the next web generation, but don't forget it has JavaFX in front of it and > this one is making a lot more noise today... > > > >
