| Re: [starter-dev] JSF for Starter UI |
Barring any further input, I would like to consider these two
matters resolved and record it on GitHub issues as such tomorrow.
Please do voice input if required?
When should we consider this resolved as well as the hosting choice? I am hesitant to move forward with the other important discussions as to not start too many parallel unresolved threads.
Is this something important enough to call a meeting and take a more formal committer/contributor vote (I would hope not)?

Subject: Re: [starter-dev] JSF for Starter UII definitely vote for Faces. As Bazlur mentions I do suspect it will ultimately result is simpler code that is easier to maintain. For a project designed to promote Jakarta usage, it also sends the correct message - we could even make Faces use apparent in the URL or an explicit mention. Lastly, I believe for this project it’s going to be easier to get people more proficient in Java than _javascript_. Indeed I suspect that’s already true of the current committers and contributors.
That said, we should all weigh in, come to an agreement and move forward together. All in all, this is more an implementation detail.

Subject: Re: [starter-dev] JSF for Starter UIHi Bazlur,
Since we're going to have a way to host a Java web app, it now certainly makes sense to build the UI using Faces. In fact, the MicroProfile Starter app is also based on Faces: https://github.com/eclipse/microprofile-starter/blob/master/src/main/webapp/index.xhtml
I just want raise a little warning - since this is public facing app, we should avoid using state in Facelets. State is useful when a session is created for logged in users, but it causes unnecessary issues/exceptions when session isn't needed. I saw such issues in the MicroProfile starter, for example getting a ViewExpiredException after some time of inactivity. The MicroProfile starter always creates a session (you can see the JSESSIONID cookie set when you load the page).
Have a look at https://balusc.omnifaces.org/2013/02/stateless-jsf.html how to create stateless Facelets. More info is in Arjan's blog here: https://arjan-tijms.omnifaces.org/p/jsf-22.html and in the spec github issue here: https://github.com/jakartaee/faces/issues/1055.
Although stateless facelets are in a way more complicated to write (no Session or View scoped beans should be used), they provide a better user experience for public-facing pages that don't require a user session.
Once you create a PR, we can ask Arjan to review it. I'll ask Arjan to have a look at it and also to follow this mailing list.

_______________________________________________Hello everyone,
I have been following Ondro and Ivo's progress closely. Superb effort. We have an endpoint that can flush zipped files, which is great progress in making.
I was wondering if we could go ahead and do the frontend with JSF. I have started working on a prototype with primefaces. As soon as I reach a satisfactory level of development, I will raise a PR.
We could also request a makeover from the design team at the Eclipse Foundation.
Unlike _javascript_, JSF is simple and relatively trouble-free, so I decided to give it a try. I haven't touched JSC for ages, so making the page and putting everything in place took a while. I'm still working on it; if anyone here is a JSF expert, I might reach out to you to ask a few things.
I've attached a screenshot for now.
Please let me know what you think.
Thank you,
-Bazlur
