I've come to the conclusion that I'm disappointed with JSF. Yes, I see what it's trying to accomplish, but it puts too much overhead in the JSP designer, you can't easily create dependencies in the controller, no exception handling, etc.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=427&thread=490234 Based on what I've learned from JSF, I'm working on a framework called "Banten" which is an attempt to remove the need for Actions/Forms, etc (yes, I've jumped on the bandwagon). So then your actions can be chained on a single request as: "#{orderController.order.addLineItem(param.id}" "#{orderController.order:validate()}" I've finished the expression parser (it actually benchmarks a good deal faster than the current EL implementations). Now to finish the Controller :-) -Nerdy -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 04, 2004 8:14 AM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: JSF RI Final is out!
