Re: Good JSF Books

So far I really liked Mastering JavaServer Faces from Wiley. It has a
complete chapter dedicated to architecture, patterns, all the
different MVC styles (JSF vs Struts vs Swing). I have really enjoyed 
it because usually the books are just talking the basic technical
stuff already available on the Internet.

You can find a preview of the Architecture chapter on amazon.

By the way, I went throught the Manning one and Oreilly and like them
very much. They are way too technical, for example there is around 240
pages of appendix in the Oreilly filled with reference API all
available on the Internet. I tend to not buy reference technical books
since all the information is available on the Internet and the
information can become outdated pretty quick.
