JSF 2.0: The Complete Reference, came out at the end of 2009. It does a fairly good job covering the topics, but I have some issues with the editing work that went into it. There are an unusually high number of typos/misspellings that didn't get caught.

It's good to know you all are having positive experiences with JSF 2.0. If
I learn it, it will be on my own time. I'm trying to learn as much as
possible about various (web) languages and frameworks to know the pros and
cons even though I have little professional experience with Java web
development. In terms of JSF 2.0 development, I have been waiting on Geary
and Horstmann's book to come out, but it keeps getting delayed. If you
have any good advice regarding online resources or books, please let me
know.

Here are some of the ones we've found so far:
- Facelets replace JSPs as the primary view language.
- Some components can be defined using facelets
entirely, instead of having to write Java code for
customization.
- Ajax is baked in well enough to do some fairly
sophisticated things (partial rendering) without
JavaScript.
- XML configuration is no longer required.
- Beans can have custom scopes that don't require
as much (if any) housekeeping code.

Could you expound? I used the initial JSF release and liked some parts a
lot and others were productivity drainers.
