No, JavaServer Faces is something different. JavaServer Faces is being
developed as JSR-127, the quick summary being "This specification defines an
architecture and APIs which simplify the creation and maintenance of Java
Server application GUIs".
The idea, as I understand it, is that JavaServer Faces will provide a GUI
component framework that tool vendors can use to develop standards-based
tools for designing JSP-based user interfaces. For more, see:
http://jcp.org/jsr/detail/127.jsp
Struts is referenced there, with a brief explanation of the differences, as
is the JSP Standard Tag Library (JSR-052).
