  JSF is quite similar to the [http://jakarta.apache.org/tapestry Tapestry framework] as that is also a component-based framework. JSF can also fill the same "niche" as the well-known [http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/ Struts framework], but has a rather different approach.
  
- The [http://java.sun.com/j2ee/javaserverfaces/ Sun JavaServer Faces(tm) Page] has information about the [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=252 JSF-1.2] (and older [http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=127 JSF-1.1]) specification. They also provide a useful Tutorial there. !MyFaces Core is a 100% compliant implementation of these standards.
