I am now obligated to paint 13 fishies, 2 smiling crabs, 2 sea-horsies, 2 sea anemone, 2 starfish, and one big and goofy looking clownfish on a kid-sized table for the school's fund raising auction. Why did I draw so many creatures... what was I thinking?

First there was ASP, then JSP and PHP, then Struts, now there is JavaServer Faces, which has been years in the making and is Java's answer to .Net's Web Forms, offering the prospect of highly useable data grids and other controls. It also goes well beyond that role by providing a sophisticated control model for web applications that exceeds .Net's capabilities. JavaServer Faces can also be combined nicely with Struts.
