Ghetto Java

The JSF framework, Shale created by Tomcat and Struts founding father, Craig McClanahan will begin merging assets of the project into the Apache Myfaces project. It was once considered to be the natural (or unatural depending on what side of the JSF divide you were on) successor to to the venerable Struts Web Application Framework. After some controversy on the future of Struts 2.0 (see Struts in Flux) it became its own top level Apache project. Now, with some of the hype fading from JSF and competition from the hot new JSF/EJB3 framework, Jboss Seam, activity on the Shale project has dropped dramatically. Well, I’m wishing everyone good luck on the merger and hoping that we see some great things coming out of MyFaces in the future.
