The JSF 2 series on DZone we've been working on continues with an introduction to JSF 2 client behaviors by guest author Andy Schwartz. Andy is a member of the JSR-314 Expert Group (EG) and architect on the ADF Faces project team at Oracle Corporation.

I'm happy to announce that the JCA team have shipped our 9th developer snapshot of the 1.0 series.
