Funny, I was *just* thinking that! And then I figured it is because in the Struts world, we are typically used to thinking of a form bean as being shared by many jsps. But I think in the Faces world perhaps the backing bean and the jsp are supposed to be really tightly integrated..(almost the same (one) thing..?)
If that's the case, though, I'd find that as a severe limitation of JSF. In Struts my DispatchActions can be called from anywhere and there isn't really a need for a tight coupling. "getEmployee" returns "success" and any form or JSP can use this Action (assuming they also use the ActionForm also).
In JSF I keep wishing there was a way I can through in a "use this managed bean" in the navigation rules - but I'm guessing that's because I've been using Struts for so long. Hopefully this will all start to "click" at some point.
