JSF is actually in my opinion a more intuitive representation of a web page than Rails MVC which is stateless and request based. Spring also has its advantages over Rails (unless Rails has IoC features that I don\\\’t know about). Hibernate though is not as easy to use as ActiveRecord so JSF + Spring + ActiveRecord is a great combination. I have thought of tried doing this myself so this saves a lot of time, thanks!

Me too Chris, this is just an experience giving some idea about how much work is necessary to use this combination and if it is viable.

To see ruby used in such an ugly way makes me sick

@Joeri: The accessors won’t conform to the ICostumerPage interface, which, sadly, is java-based, and mandated by Spring, IIRC.

Hey, have you heard about attr_accessor in Ruby?
Your Ruby class is so verbose and Java-like that I don\\\’t see any reason at all in using Ruby if you program this Java way.
Your Ruby class could be three lines long

class CostumerPage
include ICostumerPage
attr_reader :name, :address, :country, :whatever
end
