Struts and JSF - Sample app is on its way!
Craig McClanahan just sent the following message to the struts-dev mailing list after creating a new struts-faces directory (and sub-directories in Struts' CVS tree.
Yep ... it's here ... the promised integration library that lets you use
the recently published EA3 release of JavaServer Faces with a recent Struts 1.1 build
(see the README.txt for details). Unfortunately, the CVS commit for the
actual code was too big for the mailing list -- essentially, it's all the
files in the "contrib/struts-faces" subdirectory.
My plan is to publish nightly builds of this code (it's EA quality) but
*not* to incorporate it into any formal 1.1 release. More info in an
announcement message to come shortly.

You and I both know the best way to learn JSF (and JSP 2.0) is to start using it on a project. Whether it's your own, an open source project, or a paid project - it's truly the fastest way to enlightenment. I was lucky in my quest to learn Hibernate - I had two concurrent projects (struts-resume and paid) using it.
As far as computers are concerned, I've had a pretty bad day. After writing a long e-mail (about as long as this post), I kicked back in my chair to hit send and kicked the power cord out of the socket! Doh! This actually happens about once a day, but usually I'm coding and testing and I'm saving every 30 seconds. Secondly, I had this post all written and formatted about 10 minutes ago, and Phoenix crashed when I switched tabs to copy/paste something. Damn thing - it's been crashing a lot lately. It might be time to revert back to IE (am now) or Mozilla.
