This (below) has nothing to do with smarts. It has to do with the purpose of JSF. The same was true of Visual Basic. A genius might use it or build it or whatever. Indeed, I have friends smarter than me for sure who worked for years with Visual Basic. But, it was made for the technically challenged and is a tool, nonetheless. JSF, I must assume, was built the way it was as an answer to the .NET challenge. Myself, I think that is a mistake, but I understand the reasoning. I am not against JSF, never have been.

If it isn't a fallacy I wonder what it is... </snip> This (below) notion that JSF has a front controller is plain bogus. I recommend you follow up on this, check definitions, etc. (aside from those marketing definitions Craig has offered) and think it through. Try the following sort of basic introduction to the front controller pattern: http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/FrontController.html http://java.sun.com/blueprints/corej2eepatterns/Patterns/index.html Mostly, I think, you need to take a look at how the model / view / controller are connected in your web architecture, with a clear understanding, as Ted has pointed out, that the web MVC decoupling is: controller --> model --> view If you chose to couple everything, then I am not interested in your ideas. Someone else might be, but I am not. <snip> > If you had taken a serious look at JSF you will see it isn't page > controller based but front controller based.
