Yes Volker, It's surely a good candidate for a common project: I started with a4j and fastly gave up: no JSF Lifecycle, I had to use json to communicate with components, a real nightmare. For me, the two most important added values of Tobago are:
- native JSF lifecycle and component approch with ajax. - extended component approch in the view layer thanks to layouts and predefined css styles that let us write html as we'd write Swing or SWT app (even if no custumisation is done, the look is correct). Both are definetly candidates to comons JSF projets, the second seems a lillte complicated seen the posts about compatibility with Trinidad (due to the layouting mecanism).
