So, I have been spending this weekend at NFJS learning about all kinds of nifty technologies. I am afraid that JSF will become this monster freight train at work, so I wanted to know what I was in for. David Geary, one of the members of the expert committee, was presenting.
JSF is really cool, unfortunately they are over a year late, my opinion. Part of the problem is that JSF is a specification that is built by a committee. Any time you get a committee involved with creating something, you have to overly compromise the output. This is a trait that doesn't just effect the software industry. Ferraris are not built by committee, but Corollas are. You aren't gonna win a race in a Corolla, but I wouldn't want to drive a Ferrari every day either. Back to JSF. Over the long haul, the JSF may actually become a valid alternative, but they have a lot of catching up to do.
Today I am going to see what Tapestry has in store.
