Summary: Good examples
Comment: This books help me to find answers for many questions I had.
The most important thing for me in book - example with multiform UI.
In future version of book probably good idea to include example with RowSet and less information about servlets.
Instead of servlets maybe better to see example with SVG rendering kit.
Thank you very much for your book!

Summary: A Great Introduction to JavaServer Faces
Comment: In this book, Hans has provided us with a good starting point to using JSF, including the Servlet and JSP systems on which it is built. This is of particular value to those of us coming from an ASP.Net background who so often are given a book that looks at just one small piece of the J2EE picture, leaving us to feverishly google for answers to questions regarding underlying java technologies.
What you should bear in mind with this book is that it is all-inclusive: a lot of the book's documentation can be readily found online--as long as you know where to look (and, believe me, coming from a Microsoft background it takes a while to know where to look--eg. "sourceforge, what?"). Including all documentation for JSF gives the benefit of not having to look for it yourself.
Remember also that JSF is a very new technology and not all of the details have been fleshed out about it (generating custom errors for validation is sorely lacking). As such, I would imagine it to be hard to write a book full of those "watch out" tips when the framework hasn't been widely deployed on various environments and in divergent situations. Hans' book reflects this by appearing to some to be overly general.
I really appreciated the chapter showing how to plug in custom renderer code into JSF, it shows that Hans recognizes the shortcomings of JSF and points the way to fixing them.
Overall, if you are a top-notch Java web app builder familiar with Struts or Tapestry, okay, you would get just as much benefit downloading the spec and reading it. If, however, you are a relative newcomer to java-based web apps--or just someone who wants to have it all in front of you--, especially if you're coming from the Microsoft world, I would recommend this for you.
A final note: I'm an average guy who picked up this book. I have no affiliations with Hans and yet, when I sent emails asking him questions on hang ups I found using JSF, he responded to me with detailed information about my issue. Not only that but Hans has been very vocal in pushing to make JSF better by publishing articles (...) and trying to get the Tapestry folks to help.

Summary: Developers deserve better
Comment: I feel being cheated.
This book does not adequately address the relevant topics to make it meaningful. It covers only a very few topics and devoted almost half of the book to the online documentation.
