Is JSF2 usable in concert with the "Snaps" web UI framework based on Eclipse Virgo?

Snaps is a (rather new) web framework growing out of the Eclipse Virgo community that (will) allow dynamic开发者_运维问答, componentized web UIs by exploiting the OSGi infrastructure. Apparently it is the heir of "Slices", the previous attempt at this.

What I am wondering is whether there is any work ongoing in looking at how JSF (2) can be combined with such an approach? Is this at all possible? If so, is there any concrete work ongoing?

There is no work going on looking at JSF specifically or any other Web framework for that matter. Snaps aims to give you the dynamic runtime ability to compose your web app without restricting your choice of web framework in any way. It definitely doesn't aim to be another web framework.

I know some people have had JSF running on Virgo so I don't see any reason that you can't use it with snaps although I haven't tried it so I can't say for certain. If you do find a problem raise a bug on the Virgo project :)

In case you're still interested: At the Virgo formus I know there is some guy who does have it running with FancyFaces.

If you might have found another solution, would be glad to hear.
