JSF vs Struts Portelts

[Neeraj Vij]

Hi,

I am new to Portals. I need to give inputs regarding the better option between struts or jsf based portlets.

inputs will be a great help.

Thanks,
Neeraj.

The trend is toward JSF and away from Struts. Just look at the big players.

JSF integration is more natural, with fewer "oh, but a portlet can't do this specific Struts thing, so don't ever use it" warnings.

I do alot of portal development. I like both Struts and JSF, but for portlet develoment, I wouldn't use Struts unless it was an existing application that was being migrated.

No disrespect to Struts, because I love it, JSF is the way to go within a portlet environment.
