That's correct, although I don't recommend it.
The idea behind faces-config is that you can use general-purpose components and wire them together in any way you like. When you you hard-code the wiring into
Java source code, you're trading off that flexibility for a more "Git 'R Dun!" approach.
If you really just want to slam out code as fast as possible, Java probably isn't the platform
you should be using. There's a whole raft of options (mostly using scripting languages like Ruby and Python) that forgo all the abstractions and error-checking in favor of raw results (sometimes
very raw, alas!)
The great thing about this addition to JSF is that it's another tool available when you need it. The key is knowing when you really truly need it, and not using it blindly to produce an inferior product.
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.
