Contrary to popular belief…
“Contrary to popular belief, it’s possible to write Javaâ„¢Server Faces (JSF) applications without knowing every little detail of how the technology works.”
This quote from Richard Hightower, in a series of articles explaining every little detail of how the technology works, which I am reading because, contrary to popular belief, it is not possible to write JSF applications without knowing every little detail of how the technology works.
*sigh*
[Updated] OK, to be fair to JSF, once I figure out how to use a component, it’s generally very logical and well planned. For example, the dropdown control “value changed” event passes the new and previous values in its event handler. And, unlike ASP.NET, the checkbox-changed event handler actually gets called. Heh.
