Thanks for the response, Craig. It's nice to get an answer from THE
authority :-). Questions below...

I'd definitely ignore anything about prereleases of JSF 1.0 ...
that has
been out for nearly two years now. A good starting place for
general JSF
knowledge and information is <http://jsfcentral.com>. Kito does a
good job
of staying on top of the most recent articles and items of
interest. This,
by the way, is *exactly* the place to start before looking much at
Shale
itself -- Shale *srongly* presumes that you are familiar with JSF,
and what
it brings to the table all by itself, because it focuses on adding
value
around the edges. Without understanding those edges a little, it's
harder
to appreciate the benefits :-).
Okay, I'll try to find a "hello world" JSF example. That might be
enough for me to build on.
A question comes up: what has happened to Tiles? Is it no longer a
part of Struts? I'm still terribly unfamiliar with the new Struts
website.
Do I bother creating a nice Tiles hierarchy of layouts and tiles? Or
is there some other way to get site L&F re-use?
Beyond the Shale web site[1], there's not a heck of a lot of stuff
yet. One
high level overview is the session I did at ApacheCon (reprised
from one
that David Geary and I did at JavaOne)[2] ... but the slides lose a
little
in the translation without the corresponding demo program, which is
not in a
shape that I'm quite ready to check in yet :-).
Okay, I'll hold off worrying about Shale for now. Sounds like I can
work it in easily enough when the time comes.
Here's my big question: do I still think in terms of Struts Actions
handling the business logic of my application (which they rarely do;
they usually glue to the "real" biz code)? Or do I look to putting
all that glue within JSF controllers?
Thanks!
