Hi guys,
Does anybody have more info on what this JavaServer Faces technology is? As
I understand, it was presented at JavaOne... does anybody know more what
kinds of "graphical" elements, besides form input fields, will be supported?
Thanks,
Borislav

Subject: Re: Hi everyone,
Kevin,
I can't speak for the group as a whole, but tags like HTML form elements
seem controversial and difficult to get right, and I'd thus personally be
surprised if they ended up in JSPTL 1.0. The JavaServer Faces (JSR-127)
JSR calls for a tag library in support of "graphical" elements; see
http://www.jcp.org/jsr/detail/127.jsp
for more information about JSF.
