[ANNOUNCE] New series of articles about Facelets

["Kito D. Mann" <km...@virtua.com>]

FYI, JSF Central has started a new series about Facelets on JSF Central.
Jacob takes you inside his project, which is an alternative to JSP for
creating JSF views. The first article provides a quick introduction to
Facelets. Here's an excerpt:

"The web community is eagerly seeking a framework like Tapestry, backed by
JavaServer Faces as the industry standard. While JavaServer Faces and JSP
are meant to be aligned, Facelets steps outside of the JSP specification and
provides a highly performant, JSF-centric view technology. Anyone who has
created a JSP page will be able to do the same with Facelets and familiar
XML-tag use. The difference is under the hood where all the burden of the
JSP vendor API is removed to greatly enhance JSF as a platform and provide
easy plug-and-go development without requiring JSP tag development.

JavaServer Faces UIComponents are first class citizens within Facelets;
there's no need to develop extra objects to integrate. There's also no need
to learn yet another XML schema to define your views."
