JSF and Struts

[nebulom]

What should I learn first? Advice from someone who has best knowledge of this one? I know I should learn both, but I would like to ask some help pointing out which first to be studied.

Also, any links for some tutorials about this stuffs? Thanks in advance.

Just forund this http://www.jsftutorials.net/ off google. Don't know if they have anything that's good.

nebulom may i ask what Struts are? I started doing some JSP programming a little while ago and i would here JSF and Struts mentioned often. As far as i remember JSF were a way to pretty much use Swing components. Don't know if my memory serves me correctly though.

The two are just frameworks for good Web UI controls. Though mentioned, JSF is not bound to HTML and HTTP alone. I don't know a lot, I'm just starting. Anyway, you can go to http://struts.apache.org/ for Struts and I've got something I found from coreservlets. Wait...

Ehem. Here http://www.coreservlets.com/Apache-Struts-Tutorial/. There's a pdf format for us to download.

Btw, thanks for the link, bookmarked it.

Edit: Correct me if I'm wrong but the two frameworks mentioned (I guess), are just implementations of the MVC architecture. So (I guess again) it's a simpler way doing MVC with this frameworks.

Yeah i read Core Servlets and Java Server Pages a while back off that site http://pdf.coreservlets.com/ Wasent a bad read.

I guess both might be implementations of the MVC since it clearly has it's advantages. Sun's calls it's version of MVC Separable Model Architecture which is a slightly different version of true MVC. Far as i remember JSF was a community effort so it's a good chance that it uses MVC. Struts i think are Jakarta but they probably use MVC also. It would make sense for them to use MVC for various reasons like having a single api that is capable of supporting multiple look and feels and allowing event driven programming without requiring it in the upper most api level. :thumb:
