After looking at what code is required to make the demo applications (which look pretty good, because it takes care of lining everything up) I actually thought that was plus. Depending on someone that really understands CSS is a dependency too. I wouldn't have them design the UI and then try to make it, I'd start prototyping and then have someone who understands user interactions make suggestions and see how it can be done within the framework. Wicket sounded cool too though. I think JSF may have been pushed aside in this talk because there's lots of separate talk about it. Icefaces has been putting on a pretty good show from what I hear, but I haven't been to any of their talks. -Arne ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
