JSF Usage and JSF 2.0 Update

Graphical Indicators of JSF Usage

From time to time, the JSF team at Sun surfs around a bit looking for new Internet sites using JSF. This time, my colleague Roger Kitain discovered that Virgin Megastore is a JSF User.

Within Sun, we have an elevator pitch-like slide deck about JSF, and the most important slide therein is at the left. If you want more details about the sites pictured, or you want to add some more sites to the list using JSF, the wiki page is <http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/RealWorldJSFLinks>.

By way of update on JSF 2.0, Jacob Hookom, the developer of Facelets and JSF Expert Group member, is leading the drive toward our number one goal for JSF 2.0: Making custom components easier to develop. We're expecting an EG-private proposal from Jacob this week. Once we get it firmed up we'll share it publically in an Early Draft Review of the spec. In other JSF 2.0 news, we have provisionally closed on the issue of resource loading, as listed in [115-CompResources]. This will also be in the EDR.

• Intuit's new Quicken Online is also using JSF:
  "For now, the JAVA/JSF interface appears to mimic the desktop counterpart, highlighting current Money In, Money Out, and savings or debt by drawing from savings, checking, credit card, and investment accounts. "

  Matt Raible's comparison of web frameworks says that JSF is quickly becoming popular, with JSF being the highest requested in web UI job adds behind struts 1.

• JSF 2.0 will be the most important JSF update and will put JSF on the top of web frameworks.
