Thanks Don, I finally got JSF working with struts 2. Seems like the docs at http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/javaserver-faces.html could really use an example of how to set up the jsf plugin.
I didn't realise the JSF plugin isn't normally "plugged in" until I saw the struts-plugin.xml inside the struts2-jsf-plugin-2.0.6.jar and the struts-jsf.xml file under the showcase\web\WEB-INF\classes directory. Maybe I missed some other resource on the web?

How the JSF integration works is we decompose the JSF Lifecycle object into its phases and store each in a Struts 2 Interceptor. Therefore, the request enters the Struts 2 FilterDispatcher like normal, then if the action mapping includes the JSF interceptors (like it does in your example by including the "jsfStack"), the request will go through the JSF phases. The page displayed, employee.jsp, is determined using normal JSF means (taking the action name and appending a ".jsp"). Even that might be configurable, though I couldn't say for sure.
