14.8 Integrating JavaServer Faces with Struts

Problem

You want to migrate an existing Struts application to JavaServer Faces without hav 

ing to rewrite the entire application.

Solution

Use the Struts Faces integration library.

Discussion

It's reasonable to consider JavaServer Faces (JSF) to be the  son of Struts.  In fact, the

creator of Struts, Craig McClanahan, serves as co lead for the JSF specification. Unlike

Struts, JSF specifies a component model for the user interface of applications. Theoreti 

cally, that model can be rendered by any type of user interface, and not just a web 

based interface. But in its current release, JSF targets web application development.
