Subject: JavaServer Faces in Cocoon

Y'all,

Those of you who don't follow commit logs might not know yet that JavaServer 
Faces in general, and MyFaces in particular, were integrated tightly into 
Cocoon. Now you can port your JSF application from those awful JSPs and use all 
power of the sitemap to generate your JSF views (and bringing you one step 
closer to using Cocoon Flow, Forms, and other Cocoon goodies on your projects).

As an example, CarStore sample JSF application was ported to Cocoon Faces, and 
it required only one minor change in the Java code (and it was more like a bug 
fix anyway). All JSP stuff was cleaned out of sample's pages, leaving them as 
nice plain XML files.

To play with it, build Cocoon with faces block included (requires taglib block) 
and go to faces block samples.
