It's overly complex with forms. ;) If you think you need a framework then you might consider something simpler. Either roll your own front controller which is quite easy or go with something like Stripes.
hmmm... I'll take a look at that.
I need a templating framework - considering tiles or possibly facelets.
I could definitely use my own front controller outside of the forms for flow control.
But I need somehting to handle forms. What I like about faces is the automatic bean population on submit, auto-redisplay on error, etc.
I have a multi-step form that is entirely dynamic. That is, the number of inputs on each page, and their range of valid values is entirely dependent on the user's current context. Anyone know of any other frameworks that make this easy?
