Sieht so aus als wär ich mit meiner Meinung nicht alleine.

“The bottom line is I’ve done a lot of web applications in my career, and I would *never in a million years* choose JSF to build a web app. It’s nearly unusable. Don’t get me wrong. I am getting the project done, but that’s a testimony to my own development skills, not how great the technology is. JSF stinks.”

“I have not read the latest JSF 2.0 draft thoroughly, but upon a quick reading of all the changes, I don’t see anything to address the basic web usage. Unless there are more changes coming that will magically fix the core without an overhaul, JSF should the follow JAX-RPC into the JSR-graveyard.”
