Dave, Unless I am wrong (I may be!), I think the implicit point is not to use Struts for future projects. Since JSF provides backing beans, validation, heavy user interface controls (all Struts equivalents), I can see why someone would promote JSF over Struts.....
But why? If the only reason is "it is better because it is a Sun standard", I don't buy into it. I am not saying that is the only reason, but webapps are webapps and I don't think a Swing-like user interface all that really matters -- even with AJAX support -- unless your goal is to build Swing-like user interfaces. And since I can turn JavaScript off in Mozilla, I think most custom JSF components would become non-functional if I did. (I like to not use JavaScript where possible.) Anyway, how come no one is saying that the future is Struts 1.3 or 1.4? Why all the hoopla about the future IS JSF? -----Original Message----- From: Dave Newton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 2:31 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Re: Is It Possible to Code Using Struts and JSF at the Same Time?

I don't think anybody said anything about not using Struts; we were discussing the Struts tags, HTML in particular. Why is everybody opposed to JSF? I don't know a whole lot about it and am at a point where I need to think about future development needs.
