Hi,
keep in mind that JSF is a very powerful framework, but it has also some
limits.
The biggest one is that to work correctly javascript must be enabled on the
client browser.
So, as first, take care this is a very strict specific.
Where it is possible i like using JSF (sun), otherwise I go with struts.
Using NetBeans and the so called visual JSF (woodstock project) is not
mandatory to develop a JSF app.
(That is : u can use eclipse :-))
In any case, I suggest to invest in "know how" about the framework u decide
to deal with. Also if some tools can give the impression everything is
simple to do, a deep knowledge of the choosen framework is always necessary.

Subject: [programmazione] Struts vs JSF (poll?)
Hi everyone,
This maybe out of scope for this list but I wanted to know more about
Struts vs JSF other this old article [1]. Which are are deployed mostly
on your TC server(s)/cluster(s)? If any Java developers are on this list,
which platform API do you prefer for quick development (to meet deadline),
performance, security management (user authentication and level
restriction) etc... since both are based on MVC despite their different
implementations(?).
Since there isn't a JSR for Struts, has Struts been around before JCP is
formed? And why is there not a JSR for Struts now (just curious)?
As for JSF, which implementation is used by/for your app(s)? Sun/NetBeans?
Apache's MyFaces? or Others (please list)? I'm somewhat disappointed
Netbeans support for JSF and Struts in that Netbeans bundled libs support
used older Apache Commons lib version (even for the current v6.1),
although this could be updated but I don't know whether it will break the
integration of Netbeans' VWP. Even the tutorial/trails on NetBeans site
regarding Struts (although this can be compensated at Struts' web site) is
very limited perhaps because of the (biased?) Struts weak integration to
favor or push more on JSF/Visual JSF?
I need to evaluate my options of API and IDE before I dedicate several
projects since the performance of Netbeans is getting worse by every
release comparing to Eclipse. As for server, I've decided already ;)
TIA,
Tommy
