DA> I think this article points out two important things:

DA> When people criticize JSF or Java EE in this way, we need to see it as a

DA> Of course, tooling vendors can run with this too ;)

DA> p.s. Btw, in a future Java EE I would love to see a type safe EL (or at
DA> least a smarter EL that can help tools find problems easier).

For the record, there is a lot of API for this in the EL already.  For
example, ELResolver.getType(), getFeatureDescriptors(), etc.
