JavaServer Faces (JSF) is the latest addition to the Java web tier technology toolbox, allowing you to use a design model similar to the one used for traditional GUI programming for web application development.

I joined the JSF specification group about a year ago to help getting this specification done, and now we’re finally seeing the end of the tunnel.

In parallel with the specification work, I’ve been writing a book about JSF. It’s scheduled for release early 2004, but you can pre-order it now at Amazon.com and other online book stores.
