From the Editor's Desk: JSF Job Trends
Every once in a while, I run one some Indeed job trend searches and post them on a blog somewhere. My last entry was about a year ago. Of course I'm not the only person doing this, but usually that's not a good reason to avoid doing something. Everybody does things differently, even queries.

So, this year, I did the obligatory JSF vs Struts comparison.

From the Editor's Desk: Where are the Conversations?
There's one thing that's been bugging me for a while: no built-in support for conversation scope. (For those who don't know, "conversation" scope is shorter than a servlet session and longer than a request, and is popular in frameworks like Seam, Spring Web Flow, MyFaces Orchestra, etc.).

From the Editor's Desk: Oracle and Sun: JSF Comes Full Circle
So, the big news today is that Oracle is buying Sun. This is definitely the biggest thing to happen to Java since it's original release (not to mention the rest of Sun's portfolio). Overall, I believe Java is in pretty good hands. Oracle has bet their entire non-database business on Java.

Designing JSF Applications - A Storyboard Approach - Part 1
Sometimes the best way to explain JSF to the business is through the design technique called Storyboarding. Steven Murray's new series of articles explains how you can use Storyboarding to discuss JSF in terms of screens, compartments, and components as well as state transitions and navigation paths. In this first article, Steven provides an overview of this techique, and explains key elements such as use cases, the User Interface model, Screens, Operations, and Compartments.
Introduction to Spring Faces Part 1
Spring Web Flow 2 introduced the Spring Faces module, which provides first-class integration support between JavaServer Faces (JSF) and Spring. This is the first article in David Grelle's series about Spring Faces. It explains both the JSF-centric and Spring-centric approaches to integrating the two frameworks.
