Struts-JSF Demo
I've setup another demo - this time it's the struts-example app ported to use JSF and Struts. Nothing ground breaking here that I can tell, and after looking at the code, I don't know what to think of JSF. It seems to make it much harder to code a JSP page.
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="f" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="h" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/tags-faces" %>
<f:use_faces>
<s:html locale="true">
<head>
<title><
<s:message key="registration.title.edit"/>
</title>
<s:base/>
<s:stylesheet path="/stylesheet.css"/>
</head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<s:errors/>
<s:form action="/saveRegistration" focus="username"
onsubmit="return validateRegistrationForm(this);">
<h:input_hidden id="action" modelReference="registrationForm.action"/>
<h:panel_grid
columns="2"
panelClass="form-background"
headerClass="form-header"
columnClasses="form-prompt,form-field">

Ugh, a whole new set of Tag Libraries to learn? Seems like JSF is a lot of bloat, while JSP 2.0 has been made things simpler. One interesting thing is the use of the single-letter (i.e. "h", "s") for the tag libraries. I suggested this a while ago on the struts-dev list, and it looks like it's been implemented. Bravo! I doubt I'm the reason for it, but it's always nice to see your ideas implemented.
I apologize that this site was down most of the day today. It seems that the monitoring/restarting scripts were not running and this should/will be fixed shortly. I need a gig where I can restart this site when it goes down. Anyone know of a way to telnet/ssh via an HTTP Proxy?
