The version of JSF that goes into Java EE 5 is 1.2, and the corresponding JSP version is 2.1. Both are in proposed final draft status today, and are unlikely to change much. Because JSP 1.2 --> 2.0 was such a big change, there was not a lot of need to fundamentally enhance JSP this time around. Instead, most of the effort was expended on unifying the expression language syntax and semantics between JSF and JSP expressions (so that they always mean the same thing), as well as extracting out the expression language programmatic APIs into a separate package so that one could reuse this in a different context. In particular I mean what you wrote about, that JSTL does not replace > Struts html tags.

Nope ... that's what JSF is for :-). Michael.
