Mojarra and Mojarra Scales Dev Team huh? Man, I could have used your<br>help last night. I was writing a kind of stretchy layout component<br>using Icefaces and I just got it rendering this morning. There are<br>just to many config files. I hope when the new JSF 2.0 spec comes out</blockquote>
<div><br>We have grand plans for simplifying the development of components. It will be pretty similar (in concept, at least) with the technique Ken Paulsen and I laid out here:<br><br><a href="http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/jsf_templating/index.html">http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/jsf_templating/index.html</a><br>
<br>Furthermore, we will have in JSF 2 annotations for just about every XML element one currently sees in faces-config.xml (i.e., managed-bean, component, renderer, etc) so the XML needed, scant as it is now, should shrink to almost none, and Ajax will be a first-class citizen with an API defined for an implementation to ... um... implement that will handle the low level XHR work. There's even been some discussion of having the FacesServlet configured by default as part of Java EE 6 much like how JSP works now. I'm not sure what the status is on that, though.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>I haven't. I think we're supposed to use them here at the FAA, but I tend to lean toward RichFaces. I don't have anything bad to say about ADF Faces, though. I just have no personal experience with them.<br clear="all">
