Did you have a reason for omitting Java Server Faces? I confess that I

However, it seems to be the framework of choice both at Sun

I did not have a good reason for omitting it. Since you're the second
person recommending it, I am looking into it.

Do you or Chris think that using JSF is better than using, say,
Webwork or Spring? Or perhaps that it's just another approach?
I am too inexperienced with both web applications and Java to compare
the frameworks you have listed. I regret to say that I have given you
an exhaustive list of my reasons for choosing JSF above. My question
about the omission was because I feared that I might have made a gross
error with my choice.

In your use of JSF, have you ever felt that it forbids you from doing
something that you really think you should do?
As it happens I do have an example. I need to have users confirm their
registration at a web site and the only convenient way I can think of
is to send them a URL that includes GET method data. However, JSF
seems to insist on POST method parameters. I have a solution but it is
not very tidy.
