Thanx Gary.
It is quite impressive. I have started building a prototype using Spring ,
hibernate and Shale. I will let the group how it goes.
The main thing I was lookin for was HTML template (as my cool web designer
gets pissed with my JSPs :) )
I think I will go with Clay ( for record , I dont have anything against
Facelets)
Rgds,
