Hi, I have used the Aspect stuff with JSF for quite a long time now - the previous version of AspectEL - in order to know that it is really a very nice and helpful addition to our daily jsf development.
I wouldn`t want to miss it anymore. So +1 for adding it to MyFaces. It doesn`t fit to myfaces-commons, right? cheers, Gerald On Fri, Mar 28, 2008 at 2:44 PM, Manfred Geiler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > As some of you already know (at least those who attended the JSFDays08 > conference) I wrote a small goody project called "AspectEL" that I > would like to donate to the MyFaces community. > > To give you an idea what it is about, here is the abstract of my > presentation called "Lightweight AOP with JSF": > Dealing with entities and domain objects in your JSF views and backing > beans is sometimes unnecessarily complicated.
