Hi, I use JSF, but I do not use Spring at all in my applications. I use JDO to persist my objects to the database, but can use any database technology - including writing the JDBC code yourself, instead of Hibernate.
The good thing about Java is that you have a wide choice as to what technologies to use. Spring, JPox (my choice of JDO technology), Hibernate, Ibatis and many, many more frameworks are available - if you want to use them. If you are learning one technology e.g. JSF, you may find it easier to not use any other frameworks until you are confident in that technology. Then you could look at adding another framework, e.g. JDO to store/retrieve data from the database. This way you are only looking at one new technology at a time. If you tried to start from scratch and learn 3 or 4 technologies at once you are bound to find yourself very confused. In short JSF does not require you to use any other technologies.
