JSR-314 has passed its final approval ballot. Finally, JSF gets a chance to live up to its promise. JSF 2.0 brings a bunch of innovation that happened in third-party extensions (including Facelets, Seam and Ajax4JSF) back into the specification. Back in July '07, I wrote up this wishlist and it's great to see that most of the issues on this list (and much more) have been addressed. It takes an enormous amount of work to put together a specification like this, so please join me in thanking the expert group. Of course, I should especially thank the members of my team (Dan Allen and Pete Muir) who worked hard on getting some important features in very late in the cycle.

How does this fit into Web Beans, Seam 3.0 and JBoss Application Server?
At what point does JSF 2.0 start being used ,and what gains will be seen from it?
You'll see JSF 2 built into JBoss AS 6 (and maybe JBoss AS 5.2). You can use it today by just replacing the jars in JBoss AS.
Seam 3 will be based around JSF 2 (and require it)...
