Hi,
I have been working on JSF and Oracle ADF for the past 3 years and have gained a lot of experience in these frameworks.
Now it has been decided that my project will start using GWT for application development. I am not sure whether to take up this transition or stick to JSF application development.
Will GWT add to my skillset or will it be something like apples and oranges on my resume.
Kindly advise on what would be good for my career.

Regards
Yogi

Couldn't hurt to know both, in my opinion. I honestly can't see a downside to that.

It's difficult to have any real structure to your JSF code. I use every trick I can find, templates,
ui:include, ui:param etc... But every page I design/develop I seem to start from square one,
any code reuse comes from cut&paste. I also find it incredibly hard to stop myself from making
the same stupid mistakes.

I got so fed up with it that I spent 3 months working on server-side development, and what a
joy, being a proper OO software engineer again. Doing things right. But here I am again back
in JSF mode and surprisingly enjoying it. Things seem to be more fluent, we've had a few more
bug fix releases, just don't even think about trying to be ambitious with composite components!

If I'd not already got such a large body of code down I'd have been very tempted to go with GWT,
and I'd be happier if Oracle could afford more than 3 people working on JSF/Mojarra. Life is rarely
perfect.
