Hi,

I have an existing application (built on jsp-bean model). Now we want to migrate this into MVC2 architecture. I was wondering, which is the better framework to follow, Struts or JSF.

If anyone can provide me with good links (comparing both the framework), then that would be great.

JSF is better than apache Struts in Web tier frame works.

Look at these links for more:

Have a look at SUN presentations on JSF:

Did you already know that Struts nowadays is seperated into Struts classic and Struts shale? When my memory is correct this happened somewhere end 2004/beginning of 2005.
Craig Mcclanahan, the founding fater of Struts and one of the spec leaders of JSF, devotes a lot of his time to Struts shale.
In the near future both project will have their own release cycle and will coexist.Take a look at his weblog : http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/craigmcc/20040927#struts_or_jsf_struts_and
to get an impression of Struts/JSF
Furthermore Struts Shale has got his own wiki with a lot of interesting reading material : http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsShale
Therefore a real decision doesn't have to be made between Struts & JSF, you can use both.
But to give you a real world answer : I would start with Struts Classic, this is the one that you currenlty call struts, and move to Struts shale while it matures.
