Spring and JSF 2005-07-07 - By Frans Verhoef
Back
I doubt Spring is used as much as Struts for the simply fact that Struts was
one of the first MVC frameworks out there, and the Spring Framework is quite
new. That is the power of Struts, it was the first good mvc solution out there.
That is also the drawback of Struts, as it can be cumbersome and counter
-intuitive at times, and a lot of 'mistakes' in struts have been solved in later
mvc technologies.
I personally started with Spring only a couple of months ago, after having used
Struts before. I could easily switch, as I work in an environment where I have
a big say in the implementation and technologies being used for each project.
If in general technologies are imposed on you, then maybe learning Struts might
be better. Otherwise I can advise you to at least take a look at the Spring
Framework.
As for JSF, that is a Sun standard, and as such I do not think you can go wrong
by learning it. I have no experience myself with JSF, so I cannot give you much
useful advice ;)
Cheers
