Learning JSF

I have started with learning JSF recently and plan to be done with my first pass of reading the Complete Reference book for JSF (1.1 and 1.2) by Ed Burns and Chris Schalk, by end of June 2007. I have just completed the introduction part and building of a simple JSF application now and i feel that i have made the right choice to select JSF for the web application framework for BaseApp. In the past i did some experiments and learning of Struts framework (version 1.2.8) - again referring to the complete reference book on Struts by James Holmes and i remember that i was not very happy about the tedious process of incorporating the Struts framework in my web application. So since then i have developed 2 web applications and in both i could not kindle the desire to use Struts. With JSF, i must say, i am impressed with the features and the ease of use.

For baseapp, we will be using JSF 1.2 on Glassfish v2 (or v3 if thats ready when i am ready :).
