Recently my company has decided to rebuild an enterprise portal, which will be used by people across the globe to resister there product for extended warranty. They have come up with J2EE ( spring MVC ) and Oracle as technology stack for the Business layer, and have decided to use JSF (java server faces) to design the front-end stuff ( User Interface) I am, being Frontend Engineer, want appose JSF since it will give less control over the generated markup to me, also JSF will inject/generate unnecessary markup in to the page, which will act as unhealthy food for the browser. Also it will become difficult to achieve the Browser Compatibility, since I don’t have any control over the markup generated It is hard to apply correct CSS behavior. Also it not possible to use concept like fluid layout , table less layouts. All this will result in poor User Experience. My idea is developed UI with hand coded HTML then convert those .html files in to JSP’s and plug those JSP’s in Spring MVC architecture.
Having said all this, I need to present a proposal which will justify the replacement of JSF by HTML for UI layer, your inputs/thoughts and suggestions will valuable, please write back.
Also, I don’t believe XHTML as other option, it has to be HTML? Let me know what do you think and what makes you think that way?
Thanks, for stopping by. I do apologies if reading all this has taken a lot of your time.
