Hi there,
Many of you have undoubtedly read Manfred's blog about the action based
prototype in Mojarra. For those who haven't yet, it's at
https://weblogs.java.net/blog/mriem/archive/2014/01/13/jsf-tip-56-using-action-based-prototype-mojarra
This very same prototype is now also referred to as one of the 3 possible
options in part 3 of the Java EE 8 survey concerning "An additional web MVC
framework".
From the previous part of the survey it became clear that people are
interested in the action based topic, but that there's no clear consensus
whether this should be an upgraded JAX-RS, the standardization of Spring
MVC or something else. That something else might thus just as well be an
upgraded JSF (as I argued for last year here:
https://java.net/projects/javaee-spec/lists/users/archive/2013-10/message/5)
I thus wonder what everyone's opinion is about this prototype Manfred
created.
Clearly it's a prototype. Things like parameter injection have not been
added yet and some (core?) details like how to exactly identify request
parameters submitted by existing components have not been entirely fleshed
out yet.
But, do you think this is the way forward for JSF?
Kind regards,
Arjan Tijms
