I agree with Gavin's sentiment that, in general, you want to do your presentation work in CSS. However, in order for that to be effective, you really need to have good mark-up to style.
The edge that I think Tapestry has here is that it makes it easy for me to produce the mark-up, rather than relying on the knowledge/experience/tastes of the JSF component developer. In order for me to have control over the mark-up in JSF, I have to write my own components - which seems unnecessarily complex for what should be a reasonably simple task. Chris PS - I'd also recommend the Javaposse podcasts, as they cover some good material. For those that have not listened, it's probably worth stating up-front that the presenters all met each other through developing/using Sun's Creator product, so there does tend to be some leaning towards JSF... -----Original Message----- From: news [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Raul Raja Martinez Sent: Friday, 17 February 2006 2:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Gavin King's comment about presentation code and CSS in Javaposse podcast Hi, just recently listen Gavin King making a comment about JSF in the javaposse podcasts. He points out tapestry ability to separate html templates from component logic and definitions, but he also justifies that this shouldn't be an issue in jsf because all the design should be done in css. I personally disagree, since there are little things easier to do in the .html, but I thought it might be interesting for people to listen, the javaposse podcasts are very cool and they interview important people in the java community. http://javaposse.com/index.php?post_category=podcasts --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
