[ANNOUNCE] New "In the Trenches" article: Alfresco Chooses JSF for Enterprise Content Management System

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce another installment in JSF Central's "In the 
Trenches" series about real world projects that use JavaServer Faces. In 
this article, two developers of the new open-source content management 
system, Alfresco, discuss how JSF is used in their architecture.

Here's a quote:

When we began work on Alfresco, our Open Source Enterprise Content 
Management System, we had two requirements. Firstly, to build a web-based 
client that would run as a portlet from within a JSR 168 Portal 
environment, and secondly run as a standard web application (see figure 1). 
Further, the application needed to be easily customizable and extendable by 
developers. Java Server Faces appeared to be the natural choice due its 
event-based architecture, standardized component model and the promise of 
rich tool support. The majority of our development team had previously 
worked on defining the architecture for Documentum's Web Development Kit, 
which takes a very similar approach to JSF. In fact, some of the 
representatives of the team were members of the JSF expert group, so we 
knew we were taking the correct architectural approach.
