GSF :: Groovy Server Faces?
by Colin on Nov.09, 2008, under Groovy-Grails
Has anyone tried to make Java Server Faces (JSF) more groovy?
Not having done anything with JSF directly, I’m not sure what could be groovified, but I’d imagine that Groovy + JSF might make JSF more attractive to a certain type of developer. I’m familiar with the some of the .NET component paradigms and can imagine what it would be like in Java 
From the little that I have heard/read, I understand that some of the pain in JSF is related to XML configuration. Groovy does XML quite beautifully and could provide some much needed value to that space. Any other areas that Groovy + JSF would shine? Am I completely off base? Again, I’m not an expert in JSF, but it may warrant a question to the Groovy User list.
