Facelets is a display technology similar to Shale's Clay component. Both are like tiles on steroids but tailored to be used with a JSF implementation (the Sun RI or the MyFaces runtime for example). I prefer Facelets over the Shale Clay features.
Both are different from Java Studio Creator, which is an integrated development environment.

Is Facelets for developing Shale? Oma -----Original Message----- From: David G.

The URL is https://facelets.dev.java.net and I found it much easier to learn than what I've seen of Clay.

I respect you a lot so it is with all due respect that I asking this: why crave out an entire new framework as shale when JSF should have been extended to take care of whatever shale represents. I am learning shale, and I am grudging about having to code the tags--something I do not have to do with Java Studio Creator for JSF. My thinking is that Creator should be extended to enable developers to choose whether to develop JSF specific or Shale specific application. What do you think? Oma. Oma Sampson DPSCS IT Systems Technical Specialist Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pager: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Craig, Thank you a lot for your reply. Meanwhile, which IDE is around for developing visually the view layer of shale application? Instead of a new IDE, Studio Creator should be extended for Shale. I am just learning Shale cuz we use struts at work but hand coding everything takes the fun out of design experience compare to developing visually with Creator. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
