You can also look at ADF Faces which in incubation now at
http://myfaces.apache.org/. What is the incubation period and what it
means i am not clear with that though. Probably Craig knows more about
it. Give a try at ADF Faces and look at the demo pages. It has around
100 components which work fine with most browers. It internally uses
AJAX for its components to do partial page rendering. JSF component
developers will wire up javascript in the component renderers such that
end users don't bother about all the Javascript stuff. By the time you
work, if there are more compoents that are being developed, i am sure
you will be able to add them to the component pallette in JDEV or Java
Studio Creator. JDEV 10.3 like Java Studio Creator also has drag and
drop features for ADF Faces and i believe it can pick My Faces tags too.
I am not sure whether JDEV can pick up Sun RI components or if Java
Studio Creator can pick up ADF Faces and My Faces components in its
component pallete. Craig might have some information on these.
Thanks,

And how easy is it to use AJAX along with JSF? I don't have any
experience with JSF but I've seen a friend of mine drag & dropping

I'll certainly consider it as a valid choice.

It's pretty easy. If you install Java Studio Creator 2[1], you can also
download a library of AJAX-enabled sample components that encapsulate all
the JS/DHTML complexity, but leverage the drag-n-drop user experience
Creator provides for any other JSF component.
We're adding to this library with components that wrap widgets from the DOJO
toolkit (I don't want to write all that javascript code either :-), which is
a good strategy ... the JSF renderer can basically emit the code to create
the corresponding DOJO object and asking it to render itself, rather than
doing all the markup itself.
