Hi Jim, don't make the following mistake: "I use Struts but I want to move on, so I have to use Shale!"
Shale is build ON TOP of JSF, so to understand the benefit of Shale you have to know JSF. So the first question to ask yourself: "Do I want to move to JSF or is Struts just fine for me?" When you decided to move to JSF or to at least take a closer look at it then after being familiar with JSF you can look at Shale and see if that's the right technology for you. I guess in your case you seem to be fine with Struts, so just stay with it! Bernhard > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Jim Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 29.
