Just been through a series of interviews recently, here are two examples of how I handled situations with integrity.
One employer asked for JSF, I told him straight that I'd read about JSF and played with JSF sample applications, but never worked on a real project. HOWEVER, a big however, that I've had 10 years of JSP/Servlet and 5 years of Strusts and Spring MVC, and I'm confident I can work with JSF in your project.
Another employer asked for Dojo, again I told him similar things that I've had extensive experience with JavaScript and two other AJAX libraries. Then, he took my line and said "I'm sure you can pick up Dojo in no time." Voila.
If the employer you are dealing with doesn't buy in, then it's his loss, not yours. I don't wanna work for stupid employers like that anyway.
