"JSF Good!" Says Rick Hightower @ JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL

"JSF Good!" Says Rick Hightower

'Apparently it is popular to bash Sun and J2EE,' notes Rick Hightower. But 'JSF does not deserve it,' he adds. Hightower finds JSF a lot more productive than Struts: 'I was amazed how fast I could crank things out. The only other framework I would consider using instead of JSF would be Tapestry. In short, I dig JSF.'

#7	Alexander Jesse commented on the 28 Sep 2004 Sounds great. Is this application already put into production? If so, some experience about performance already? Are there already JSF-applications put into production? I'd like to hear about them to convince my managers ;-)
#6	Chris commented on the 22 Sep 2004 Same as Greg. Yeah, what's the main advantages of JSF and Spring vs Struts? Struts is not just a bunch of JSP tags...
#5	Greg commented on the 22 Sep 2004 Thanks Rick for telling us that you like Struts. Unfortunatly you don't tell us anything more than that, so the whole conversation is rather shallow :(
#4	Craig Walls commented on the 22 Sep 2004 Although I'm not as high on JSF as Rick, I can say that the JSF-Spring integration is pretty good. The JSF-Spring project (jsf-spring.sourceforge.net) makes it possible for JSF-managed beans and Spring-managed beans to coexist. In fact, the integration significantly blurs the lines between Spring-managed and JSF-managed beans making it possible to configure JSF-managed beans in Spring's configuration files (to take advantage of Spring's Ioc and AOP features).
#3	Yakov Fain commented on the 22 Sep 2004 We are planning to publish an article in November's issue of JDJ on using JSF/Spring/Hibernate in a Pet Store application Yakov Fain, JDJ
#2	Harold Neiper commented on the 22 Sep 2004 Rick, Awesome! Given that I am starting my first Spring/JSF or JSF/Spring project, I was wondering if you had any suggestions towards the integration of these two technologies.?. I started following the discussions on Spring site with regards to the different camps on how to "glue" the two together, and given your working experience and knowledge on this subject it would be a great if you could share some of this wisdom. Regards, Harold
#1	98ghp2 commented on the 22 Sep 2004 Thanks for this Rick! Reading in books all about how to use the JSF framework to build real-world web apps is one thing, hearing you say this here is somehow more real.
