I used JSP and Servlets exclusively to build web apps years ago. JSP is no framework for most people. But I do agree that JSF has some functionalities where a webframework was needed before. Maybe its just a question of what we call a "web framework". For me, it is something like struts. There is no need to build another framework on top of it. With JSF, things are different. There IS a need to build a web framework on top of it (Seam, Shale, etc). At least for me it does not feel "complete" enough to build my applications with it. Craig said in another thread [1] at this list that "JSF focuses on the component APIs and the foundations for application needs" and that a "framework on top of JSF" is a reasonable thing for an application developer to want.
