Struts Faces - what to do?

Perhaps Craig can shed some light on this, but are we going to  
continue to support the struts-faces project?  If so, can someone  
please fix the faces example (1 and 2) apps?

Sounds like a jar file is missing from the webapp ... not all that
surprising giving all the changes going on.  I'll take a look.

It buys you either JSF 1.0 or 1.1 or 1.2 ... but, more importantly, it buys
you the ability to use the UI components part of JSF even if you don't want
to use the controller part.  For example, it has full integration with
Commons Validator and Tiles, but uses JSF component tags instead of Struts
HTML tags.

Yes, I believe things have settled down.  Although I'm still working  
changes in the struts-scripting webapp.

The error I was getting when deploying the faces-example1 app was:
javax.faces.FacesException: Undefined component type  
org.apache.struts.faces.Html

I was under the assumption that the struts-faces library only buys  
someone partial compatibility.  And what they get was only jsf-1.0  
compatible anyway, but I will be happy to be corrected.

We should.  There will be people who want to have a few JSF components on a
few pages (or they want to migrate) -- and using this library is the right
strategy for them.  Don was also talking about porting this to action2,
which I also support.

  If so, can someone

Has the source organization and the build scripts settled down now?  If so,
I can devote some time to this ... but not until the end of next week.  One
more long trip first (St. Petersburg, Russia).

It is a convention, not a rule.  And it is more for the user list than the
dev list -- people subscribed here are presumed to have a clue :-).

Isn't the rule that this should have [faces] or something like that in the
subject matter?
