Re: Display dynamic information on Web pages with JavaServer Faces

["Erick Garske" <egarske@xxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

Thanks for yoru reply.

I had not considered using EGL since the only information that I have
ever heard about this is from an IBM representative. I really do not
know what sort of promise this holds. The solution does not need to be
vendor agnostic, so this may be the solution to pursue.

On a side note, I see that you are scheduled to speak at the Ocean400
user's group in Orange County, CA. I hope to see you there as this is
my stomping ground.

Regards,
Erick
