What is the fundamental difference between MVC frameworks and other UI frameworks?? to be more specific what would be the difference between Spring and YUI vs JQuery>?

How does the above frameworks differ from JSF ( Presuming it is another UI framework specification)

Is MVC a framework?

MVC is not a framework but a pattern.

There are lot of frameworks which use this architectural pattern for structuring their code or building the application structure.
I would not classify frameworks as UI frameworks because frameworks like JSF, ADF and other related ones provide both UI related components as well as support for creating back end elements.
Frameworks like jQuery, YUI, ExtJS, Prototype and others are javascript based frameworks which help you with the javascript part of your application.

You can search for these frameworks and read up about them.

So-called "MVC frameworks" such as Struts and Spring MVC help you organize your server-side code. JavaScript frameworks such as YUI and jQuery help you with client-side code. Both can work together with each other on separate sides of the "HTTP divide".

JSF is neither and is what is called a "component framework" (of which I am not a fan).

Thanks bear for simple and clear explanation on frameworks.. Conceptually i'm clear now.
