Just how old is the version of JSF (Sun implementation) that we are using?
843844Jun 11 2007 — edited Jun 13 2007I'm new to JSF and am having LOTS of problems at my client with this technology. I'm a Sr. level developer, 7+ years of J2EE, experienced with Apache Ofbiz implentation.
I suspect that many of my issues are due to working with such an old release. My client has Sun's implemntation and the release is:
jsf-api jar dated 9/12/2004 size 356 kb
Can anyone point me to a URL which indicates just how many issues have been corrected since this release? I'm beating my head against the wall, probably needlessly since this release appears to be so obsolete. I am thinking that the issues I am having are related to one or more of the following:
1. working with an obsolete Sun release or
2. Faulty implemtation altogether (eg, MyFaces impl may be much more robust) or
3. JSF is just a buggy, poorly designed, hard to learn product .
Please comment! I respect your expert opinions. By the way, where did the controller go?? My implemntation is MV, not MVC.
Thanks!
