Re: JSF 2.0 a lot better was ->Re: Why use PHP? What are the disadvantages?

["Dean, Robert" <rdean@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here are some of the ones we've found so far:

- Facelets replace JSPs as the primary view language.

- Some components can be defined using facelets 
  entirely, instead of having to write Java code for 
  customization.

- Ajax is baked in well enough to do some fairly 
  sophisticated things (partial rendering) without
  JavaScript.

- XML configuration is no longer required.

- Beans can have custom scopes that don't require 
  as much (if any) housekeeping code.

Could you expound?  I used the initial JSF release and liked some parts a
lot and others were productivity drainers.
