There's an interesting article over at informationweek.com about Java Server Faces, a proposed new standard for building browser-based interfaces in Java. According to the article
"The little-known Java Server Faces will provide a standard way to build user interfaces for Java Web applications and open the way for highly customized and specialized components to be plugged into applications.
Tools supporting Java Server Faces will move the difficult task of building Java applications to a process closer to working with the drag-and-drop process of building Microsoft Visual Basic applications, says Dennis MacNeil, Sun's senior product manager, Java 2 Enterprise Edition. "We're closing the gap," he adds."
The article uses JDeveloper in an example of how Java Server Faces might work, quoting Ted Farrell, one of the key people at Oracle behind their tools strategy (in particular the move to make JDeveloper a more suitable migration path for Forms developers), so it looks likely we'll hear more about this in the Oracle world as time goes by.
