I would highly suggest you look at Spring and its web framework. You may find that in the long run the .NET apps and the JSF apps are a false time saving. This will be particularly clear when your engineers have become tool jockeys who spend a lot of their work time finding new iTunes don't know how to fix something when it is broken. I recommend you just peruse this list for names that support JSF and ask yourself if you can live with that bunch for long. Remember too that these are the experts.
