[jsr-314-open] An observation on where we should focus attention

[David Geary]

I'd love to see some built-in interoperability in JSF for GWT. GWT gives you
a lot of Ajax firepower (in fact, it's unrivaled, IMO) on the client, and
JSF provides lots of firepower on the server. Combining the two technologies
is a very attractive proposition.

Grails has a GWT plug-in, and I would love to see JSF have something along
those lines.
