JSF is not and has never been about page layout. It has always been about
an attempt to provide a more robust interface between the web page and the
server -- look carefully at the "codebehind" code file that backs up every
JSF page. Also look at how JavaScript is embedded in JSF widgets to the
point that JavaScript, Java, and HTML become indistinguishable in the
resulting web page. Consider also that JSF is totally extensible.

Ok, all of this is great, but extremely complex and tedious to implement.
Tooling is the key to this.

does JSF support server side controls like ASP.NET? The asp.net approach to
abstracting away the complexity of web programming are server side controls.
Which are themselves based firmly on the fundementals of the .net framework
- classes, inheritance, delegates and event handlers.

By IBM going the code generation route of EGL, is it saying its method has
advantages, is superior to asp.net?
