Thanks for posting this Dan. Its been on my to do list, but as usual, you've summed up the points thoroughly and clearly. I am 100% on board with acknowledging / deprecating the jsf built-in managed bean facility in favor of a platform feature. IMO, jsf is crippled without a full DI container

Right. And the nice, neutral message for JSF 2 is "For your programming model, use CDI (platform managed beans) or provide your own alternative bean container, such as Spring. We are in the business of creating a UI component model."
