Working with JSF and ADF
I have been working with JSF and ADF for a while and I have to say that I am impressed. The level of abstraction is simply outstanding, I am waiting for an AJAX implementation that could map the relationships described in the web application and generate AJAX components. The navigation is very easy to implement and understand once implemented. The relationships between components are crystal clear, you don’t have to go back to the struts-config file for each link or form, but rather you describe the relationships and delegate their implementation to the framework.
I am really impressed. I got used to see most of the good frameworks come out of open-source projects so I was surprised when I saw the very good job that Sun did with JSF. I didn’t expect web development to be abstracted and turned into event-based programming because the environment is so different, but it has been done and done very well.
Congratulations to Sun and Oracle for these great frameworks!
