  == What is JavaServer Faces? ==
  
- JavaServer(tm) Faces is a new and upcoming web application framework that accomplishes the MVC paradigm. It is comparable to the well-known [http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/ Struts Framework] but has features and concepts that are beyond those of Struts. Look at [http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/ Sun's JavaServer(tm) Page] to learn more about the [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=127 Java Specification Request 127] and to download the specification. They also provide a useful Tutorial there.
