Spring vs JSF???

Question

Java

Hello!!!
I just started learning, JavaEE, figured out a little with servlets, JCP
Now I started to deal with JSF and realized that it's just some kind of dense forest, tell me if there is Spring MVC, do I need to know JSF, and what is the difference ...?

Answer 1

JSF is just a framework for building a user interface. It does not include a container with bins, working with a database, etc. JSF is based on JSP. Spring Framework is a framework for developing web applications, it just has everything you need. In Spring MVC (part of the Spring framework), the user interface is built using JSP, so learn that first. In principle, everything that can be done in JSF can be done in JSP, just a little more fuss.
