4 things I read more recently about JavaServer Faces

It's been a while since I published a "4 things I read more recently" post. Here's one on JSF:

• Rick Hightower provides a number of posts among others on the state of play of technologies in the job market. In his post JSF catches Swing as the number one GUI component model for Java, Rick has a look at the strong growth of JSF in the job marketplace.

• What's a discussion on a technology without the negatives as well? Matt Long gives his opinion on why Nobody Uses JavaServer Faces.

• Alex Handy on SD Times quotes Ed Burns and Roger Kitain on the established goals within the upcoming JSF 2.0 spec of reducing configuration headaches, in Alex's JSF 2.0 Faces Disjointed Components post.

• Finally Ryan Lubke gives a run down on JSF 2.0 features in Part 1, Part 2.1 and Part 2.2 on his blog, originally sited by Ed Burns on his JSF 2.0 Update post.
