I've just began using the JSF framework in coding my applications, and I have found some very weak points. For instance, I use an underlying database in all of my appications, and I cannot use EL to retrieve database values in any JSF components (lists of values for <select> components). I am also used to using expressions on these lists of values components and I cannot do that with JSF which renders JSF useless for many of my application modules.
After reading this article, I will try to create a custom component to achieve the above process and see if it works out. If so, I believe that almost any production JSF application will NEED to use custom components. If I can make custom components solve these types of issues, JSF is going to be an extremely powerful solution! |
