Abstract
As JavaServer Faces (JSF), the new standard Java web application framework, grows in popularity, development teams are beginning to evaluate different strategies for migrating from Struts to JSF.
This session begins with a brief overview of JSF. Next, it examines different strategies for using Struts and JSF together as well as migrating from Struts to JSF, discussing the pros and cons of each approach. The session ends with an overview of future directions for JSF as well as Struts, and the Struts Shale project.
