java.sun.com: JavaServer Faces

I've been waiting for this for quite a while. At first their goals sounded like they were trying to implement the WebObjects (HTML) framework for JSP. Now people are saying it reminds them of ASP.NET, which I noticed tries hard to do WebObjects-like things.

And the timing of this specification/API publication is very interesting and very appreciated. I've been learning Servlets, JDBC and JSP this week. I've been keeping private notes, and in them you'll find the words 'crap', 'weak', 'poorly designed', and 'yikes' quite a few times. Hopefully JavaServer Faces will make this technology a lot more productive.

Tapestry is inspired by WebObjects, but without the 'obscene memory footprint'. ;-)

It's something I definitely plan to look into, especially since they've got some tie-in with Eclipse now.

From the sounds of things I'll probably like that better than JavaServer Faces or Struts. We shall see! :-)

Since my Elements discovery on Tuesday, I've run by a lot of Python-centric weblogs. On one I found a link to a new weblogging tool...

And then I saw this Java Web Start-enabled RSS reader, ThinRSS, written with Thinlet. It's a 30K download. Note to OS X 10.1+ users: your systems have Java Web Start.

Blogroots: Rethinking Syndication A weblogger's RSS feed is being republished on Nuzee, and he doesn't like it.

This is why I don't have an RSS feed that repurposes the content of this site. I know that that's what will happen, and I don't want that to happen. I know that'll happen because it did happen, and fixing it wasn't fun.

jjg said, 'This is comical. If you publish an RSS feed, you're saying "Please republish my content." That's what RSS is for. What did you think "syndication" meant?"'

I thought RSS stood for Rich Site Summary. It least it did when it was created. Perhaps the RDF folks called RSS 1.0 Real Simple Syndication or something like that, I'm just going from memory, but i don't care. My RSS feed (yes there is one, get it by downloading NetNewsWire Lite) is a summary... headlines only, and will remain that way, because the 'net is full of cowboys and crooks.
