Unless there are more changes coming that will magically fix the core without an overhaul, JSF should the follow JAX-RPC into the JSR-graveyard.
I emphatically agree. JSF is, in my opinion, a perfect example of what sucks about Java and its ecosystem.
Where were you to fix it when it was still time? Why could EJB’s be fixed and not JSF? I really don’t get such non constructive assertions.
