There has been a lot of buzz about JavaServer Faces. Since its release, people seem to love it, or hate it. A lot of the hatred revolves around the JSP tags that you have to work with. Hans Bergsten shows us the flaws, and then shows us, what he thinks, is a better way.
This kind of article is great. I totally agree with Hans that the JSP approach is really clunky, and have mentioned some of these reasons in the past. Just look at a fairly complicated JSF page and you will wince. Show that to a designer and they will cry.
The component model itself isn't that bad, and Hans gets to that. JSF also really needed to lift the bar and give us some awesome components right off of the bat, rather than leaving them to the community/third parties. If they could have wowed us with amazing controls, then more people would be jumping for it IMO.
