Ryan Lubke just began a preview series for the new features in JSF 2.0. That, in itself, is a good thing. But I'm terribly confused as to why ProjectStage is the first feature highlighted, or why the hell it is even a feature of JSF 2.0. Of all the things that are wrong with JSF, that's the most important one? Seriously? Maybe I'm missing the vision, but why in the hell does JSF control the deployment environment variable anyway? Isn't JSF a UI framework? It boggles my mind. http://java.dzone.com/news/jsf-20-new-feature-preview-ser that we are concerned about more important issues. -Dan -- Dan Allen Software consultant | 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, life and work come first and, at times, keep me away from my mail for a while.
