Re: When were JSF and JavaBeans created and is this the "correct" way to build web pages in Java technologies?

In my move away from Microsoft and ASP.NET to Sun and Java (various
technologies), I started reading about JSP and Servlets. I had no
other knowledge of Sun's products, and I was quickly dismayed at the
mixture of embedded code and presentation. I was wondering why this
was any better than classic ASP or PHP (no offense to anyone.) I knew
I had to be missing something. Anyway, I kept reading and finally
found Java Server Faces and JavaBeans. This made me feel much better
and unless something is trivial, I guess this is the way I'm
"supposed" to go about designing websites with Java outside of some
framework. That's simplistic, but it appears to be essentially
correct. Please let me know if I am wrong here. This appears to be
the current standard in Java when creating web pages, but I'm still
very new.

I am curious about something, though. Was JSF and JavaBeans created
as a response to the separation of layers found in ASP.NET (at least
2.0) or were they simultaneous, or just one quicker than the other to
get it to market?

No. Separation of presentation and code was done before ASP.NET existed.

Look for framework like Struts.

JSF is just the newest and official way of achieving the same.
