I agree, a good J2EE developer can take a UI from a designer (A Photoshop file or the like) and return a pixel perfect html representation as well as meeting the MVC business requirements.

Good question! I barely can wait for answers from the other guys out there; cuz in what I saw so far, the Java Developers are supposed to be able to turn static visual models (often not even html) into Struts web applications, finding "clever" solutions (usually good ol' javascript) to UI designs that don't account for the nature of web applications (request/response interactions). So a Java [web] Developer must know a lot of html, css, javascript (and of course Struts tags / JSTL) or at least enough to know where to find solutions to particular problems... On the other hand, I'm just starting with Tapestry right now and beginning to see that it could really make possible starting with a static html design of a UI and "enhancing" it to become a dynamic web app. Also it provides an almost event-driven kind of framework... Also note that Shale is supposed that will support pretty much of the same design (components and events, but without the almost pure html templates), and even better, support for dialog-like interactions across multiple requests.
