Hi Richard Cat,
Great news. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us, looks
JSF2/GlassFish is holding strong for your projects. Please
continue report issues to us!
Let's see how many GlassFish beans we can harvest in the Frameworks
table :-)
(1) Icefaces 2.0.0 Alpha 1/GlassFish - struggle is with Icefaces,
GlassFish is doing right thing, right?
(2) PrimeFaces 2.0.0 RC does not work in GlassFish 3. (I think there is
a bug logged) - Is it a GlassFish bug or not? If yes, please give bug
number, I can help follow up.
(3) OpenFaces 2.0 EA2OpenFaces 2.0 EA2/GlassFish - working fine on v3
b74b, right? I can use following link in the Frameworks table to say
this sample worked on v3 b74b, right :-)
