Welcome to JavaPolis Interviews
Who is Kito Mann and what are you presenting at JavaPolis?
Why JSF?
How does the Javascript scene change JSF?
One of the criticisms is that JSF is way too complicated. What's your opinion?
What do you mean by a component model?
What's the principal advantage of a component model?
Has the JSF market place of components taken off?
What about portals and portlets? What's the use of it?
Is JSF trying to do too much?
Where do you see things going if you look 5 years ahead?
About Mircrosft ASP.Net. Would this change the JSF model in some way?
What impact may or may not have Rails on JSF?
Ted Neward talks with Kito (JSFCentral) Mann about, yes you guessed it, Java Server Faces. What is the current state of JSF, what's the impact of Javascript and Ruby on the JEE5 presentation tier and how does it compare to ASP.NET are just a handful of questions that are fired by Ted.
JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a standard web user interface framework, developed under the Java Community Process (JSR 127), and released in March, 2004. JSF specifies a web user interface component model, complete with server-side event handling, validation, internationalization, page navigation, and declarative mapping between user interface components and Java objects.
