Javapolis: Bitter Java Server Faces

Date:

This was another packed session, even though according to raised hands less than 10% of the audience actually uses JSF. Maybe people where there gathering arguments to not use it? The talk was very detailed and I can’t help think that JSF seems to be incredibly complex. One advice to get JSF right was to “avoid HTTP thinking”. That is the exact reason why I don’t like component based web frameworks.
