It will be a simple todo app exposing REST API. Jozef, while you are thinking about how to expand this integration, could you record some thoughts about how JSF might leverage REST. One of the features that has been long requested of JSF is that it support REST. The problem is, we have to first figure out what that even means. Maybe it isn't even relevant. Either way, if there is a sensible integration, we (Red Hat) want to be the ones that figure it out and propose it to the JSF EG for JSF 2.1. It may well be that the JSF REST merely consists of defining mappings in the PDL (i.e., Facelets). If anyone else has any thoughts, feel free to share them. -Dan -- Dan Allen Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat | Author of Seam in Action http://mojavelinux.com http://mojavelinux.com/seaminaction NOTE: While I make a strong effort to keep up with my email on a daily basis, personal or other work matters can sometimes keep me away from my email.
