Matthias, I haven't done a lot with JSF and Chains yet, but I am hoping to. I have done some with Struts and Chains though. Right now I'm using commons-chain in my "service layer" to handle business logic. I have a method called getDocument on my ServiceFacade. The getDocument method creates an empty document bean and puts it in the chain context. Then it looks up the getDocument command and executes it. Basically I can chain several pieces of logic associated with document population together in my chain. The specifics of the business logic (ex. not all documents have certain information) are stashed in the individual commands. If we add new information to the document, we just write up a new command and drop it in the chain. I've also used chain to implement transactions with my connection pool (since I am not using EJB.) Here is a link to my initial discussion on that: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg12423.html I've since implemented it and it works great. I can give you more of the specifics if you're interested. > Matthias We�endorf sean
