I should mention one other area that got a *lot* of attention. Because JSF 1.0/1.1 came *after* JSP 2.0 (so we couldn't change it), there were some annoying interoperability problems between JSF and JSP, such as dealing with intermixed template text and component tags, and working with things like JSTL's <c:forEach>. To a large extent, these issues have been addressed, so using JSF 1.2 and JSP 2.1 together will feel much more smooth to the developer. Craig
