[Springframework-developer] [ANN] JSF integration - initial release

[Thomas J. <tho...@mi...>]

While discussing the issue of integrating Spring and JSF on the JSF space in
the wiki, we developed a preliminary version of the glue code and finally
released it on Sourceforge. At first, we did so within a separate project,
but according to Jürgen Höller and Rod Johnson, JSF integration should be
part of one of the next minor releases of Spring.

The goals of our development were:
- JSF/JSP developers should be able to access beans managed
  by Spring as if they'd be managed by JSF.
- JSF managed beans should be able to integrate into Spring.
- RequestHandledEvents should be published to Spring like
  it's done by Spring's DispatcherServlet.

You can download our code and a sample web application from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jsf-spring
The javadoc is accessible online at:
http://jsf-spring.sourceforge.net/

Please review and comment on our code so that we can come up with a commonly
agreed solution to integrate Spring and JSF as soon as possible.

Cheers,
Thomas
