ok... JSF uses Page Controller Pattern and to be honest I still don't know this pattern. Any other thoughts?
Thanks in advance, Nato.

Hi Nato, im also new to jsf. I think its a good idea if you read chapter one of JavaServer Faces in Action. There you can find a good explanation of some basics. You can buy the book or you can read the free chapter at http://www.manning.com/mann/
hope that helps

Lets see. According to the author of the book i mentioned, JSF implements a variation of the MVC model defined as Model 2, which is specific to web applications. The model would be your javaBeans or EJBs. The view would be the html/jsp/jsf tags and the controller would be the servlet that helps the model and view interact.
Now, about the page controller pattern, this page http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2004/10/14/page_controller.html gives a nice explanation of the theory behind it. I dont know enough of all this as to explain, so i recommend that you read it so that i dont confuse you.
