It is definitely an option and does what it purports to do, for the most part. However, if you get stuck and need help, I've found that you are on your own for solutions. I think that Struts-Faces integration needs its own mailing list, though.

I was starting to think that too.. However, I went back and listened again to Craig's talk in the serverside Java Symposium (and that was only in March of this year): http://www.theserverside.com/symposium/presentations.html I understood him to say that using the integration library for Struts+JSF apps was definitely a possible option... Tell you the truth, I am quite confused now about what we *ought* to do...(:( Geeta "Kevin Hinners" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 08/05/2005 01:13 PM Please respond to "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> To "Struts Users Mailing List" <user@struts.apache.org> cc Subject {Spam?} Re: [OT] What to choose: Struts, JSF, Shale or Spring My experience with this mailing list is that the Struts-Faces Integration library has been abandoned, at least as far as development and support goes. I never had any success getting responses from anyone on this list.

Or is that project kind of abandoned now..?

There are still some spots where the code is specific to the servlet API which need to be shaken out, but I plan to do that *after* a 1.0.0 milestone release. > We're willing to live with more pain during development to make the > final product as easy as possible to install and totally portable. > Part of the challenge here is that the JSF 1.0 spec doesn't go quite all the way towards seamless portability across JSR-168 compliant environments. I've used the jsf-portlet bridge code that is available in the JSF RI's java.net project with good success, but primarily with Sun's tools (and pluto). And the MyFaces integration with portlets is "similar but different", so it'll take a bit of work at the framework level to settle all this out. > And same question on Spring? Spring integration is a breeze ... and is a feature I didn't mention. If you include Spring in your app, Shale has an adapter that makes the managed beans facility automatically use Spring's bean factory if there is no managed beans definition, so you can use Spring to create and configure all your instances (if you like). And you can use standard JSF value binding and method binding expressions to trigger creation of Spring beans, too. > Thanks - dave Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
