JSF 2.0 Preview
JavaServer Faces, the standard Java web development framework, has gained quite a few fans and detractors over the past few years. Regardless of the camp, most agree that the framework can improve. JSF 2.0, currently under development through the Java Community Process, aims to be a dramatic leap forward for the framework.
This session covers enhancements, changes, and new features currently under discussion by the JSF 2.0 expert group. These include improved Ajax support, better UI component interoperability, simpler component development, a Facelets-style template language, automatic re-deployment of application artifacts, and several other goodies.
