[opencms-dev] OpenCms as jsp/jsf replacement for JavaEE application practical?

[Andreas Kuckartz]

I also use JSTL in such systems. Do not underestimate that tag library.

On the other hand JSF 2.0 looks interesting: Ajax ...

The "facelets" (replacement for JSP) include a templating mechanism (and JSTL can be used in facelets).

See:
JSF 2 fu
Part 2: Templating and composite components
Implement extensible UIs with JavaServer Faces 2
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsf2fu2/index.html

Anyone working on an integration of OpenCms and JSF 2.0 ?

Cheers,
Andreas
