As I write this foreword, I am collaborating with four leading user interface
(ui) component vendors on a presentation for the 2004 JavaOneSM conference.
In our presentation, the vendors will show how they leverage JavaServerTM
Faces technology in their products. While developing the presentation, I am
learning some things about the work we’ve been doing on JavaServer Faces for
the past three years. The vendors have their own set of concerns unique to
adapting their product for JavaServer Faces, but they all voice one opinion
loud and clear: they are very relieved to finally have a standard for web-based
user interfaces.
