Good JavaServer Faces Article
The latest issue of Java Developers Journal has an excellent article on developing with JavaServer Faces. I read it on the plane last week and thoroughly enjoyed it. I like it so much, that if I had my laptop with me, I probably wouldn't tried porting one of my sample apps to use JSF.
However, the magazine I had did not have any code samples in it - even though it referred to Figure 1, Figure 2, etc. So naturally, I was excited to see the online version and the downloadable source code. I might be a little ignorant (being from Montana and all ;-), but this download does nothing for me. It's a 3K zip file with one file in it - that has no extension. If I view it with Notepad, I get some text, but lots of garbage too. This would be a much better article if it included a simple WAR file. An example app that cannot be downloaded and run (or built and then run) is worth nothing to me.
