This is rather a highlevel question:
Why is JSF missing in the comparison chapter of presentation tier architectures?
Only JSP, Struts and Spring MVC is considered. Any reason for this?

Also, templating in chapter 3 is shown with JSP includes... I would have expected that such a new book would consider JSF with Facelets?

Otherwise, the book looks promising.

Thanks!

It was really just a matter of time/space. JSF is yet another reasonable web framework with strong and weak points.
