Struts versus JavaServer Faces (JSF)
Many people compare Struts with JSF. My experience on both give me the opinion to say there is a complete different development approach with JSF.
The only equals between JSF and Struts are the external XML defined states of the controller. The JSF-controller concept is much more comparable with Swing-Component (MVC) and not central managed like struts. Additional, Struts is only a Servlet-Controller based on the MVC-2 Pattern and does not include UI-Components with Rendering Delegation Pattern, Statemanagement, full I18N support, component validators etc.
