Bill,
On the slide titled JSF Leaves a lot up to us,
did you mean to say Business Delegate or Delage?

Good overall presentation, Bill! A couple of notes below might be worth considering:

* Slide 7, where you talk about "Factory Based"
you might want to add a note that you can plug
in your own implementation for just about
everything.

* Slide 13, technical detail: it's not actually
FacesServlet that does the middle four bullets;
it is the Lifecycle instance to which the
FacesServlet delegates. I think of the servlet
as primarily an Adapter, and the Lifecycle
instance as the meat of the Controller.

* Slide 14, besides the extension points you list
you can do other interesting things. For
example, the Struts-Faces integration library
adds a custom PropertyResolver that makes
DynaBeans (and therefore DynaActionForm beans)
accessible via value binding expressions.

* Slide 17, s/principal/principle/ :-)

* Slide 28, the analogy of ActionForm+Action
is right on. Keep in mind, though, that for
session based backing beans you might need to
be concerned with simultaneous requests (this
is not a problem on request scope backing
beans, of course).

Enjoyed reading your presentation. I have used JSF a little while in beta but haven't had a chance to go back to it yet. Soon though.

I found two typo's or mistakes in your slides that I wanted to point out.

1. Slide 16 includes "Business Delage". I think you wanted "Delegate" here.

2. Slide 26 your setter method is returning value even though the method signature shows "void".

Thanks again for the reading material.
