The two-phase life cycle model is a strange beast to explain to web developers. The most often heard complaint is that this model is quite unnatural for web developers. Why would any web developer want to split the simple GET and POST requests into "render" and "action processing" phases so that some portal can render it correctly?

I've written about this issue myself at http://www.kirit.com/The%20%E2%80%9CCorrect%E2%80%9D%20way%20to%20process%20forms

There are a few other things to think about (see my article), but I do like the diagrams on this one.

It seems so clear that we NEED something like the portlet model, but one would certainly hope for applicable standards to make it easy to use. The portlet experts I know all seem to agree that the initial Java spec doesn't cut the mustard, but I really don't know how much consensus there is about precisely how it needs to evolve?

We need something like the portlet model? Why, oh why?! Please elaborate. ;) I haven't found much use for it myself, other than using it to push more stuff at the customers, that they don't need and would be better off without.
