Migrating a Struts Application to JSF
Struts 1.1 and JSF 1.0 are definitely not equivalent in terms of features, and they aren’t intended to be. Struts focuses on the Controller part of the MVC triage, with features like declarative navigation and validation, which are more sophisticated than what you find in JSF 1.0.

To get a feel for what it takes to convert a Struts application to JSF, let’s look at a Struts application that I developed for my book JavaServer Pages (O’Reilly). It’s a simple billboard service, where employees can post messages related to different projects they are involved with. An employee can customize the application to show only messages about the projects she’s interested in. Figure 12-6 shows the three application screens.
