Thanks for passing that on. I have read it now. So I can infer that Struts will likely become an implementation of JSF. That makes total sense given its popularity. It seems though that there will be a fair amount of overlap and that the version of Struts that implements the JSF spec will be quite different from the Struts we know today.
It also infers that companies like BEA and IBM will have implementations of JSF and that JSF will be a requirement of the J2EE spec. Can anyone confirm that JSF will be a requirement of the J2EE spec for app server vendors, etc? Ted, you're one of the better known Struts people right? What do you think of JSF? For that matter, what do all of the Struts devs think of JSF? I think there should be more discussion on this topic as I'm sure its on the minds of many more people than those at my company. I've CCed user list for that input. By the way, thanks for creating a great software framework!
