Short article at onjava.com entitled: Why Web Developers Need JavaServer Faces. Not much meat to it, but it sure the sparks are flying the comments section. If you don’t want to read it, here’s my data extraction:

· JSF prescribes an architecture for UI rendering to different clients.

· JSF provides rich client like event handling.

· JSF defines functionality for data conversion, validation, and localization.

That’s it… the entire support for why Web Developers need JSF. Pretty weak isn’t it?
