On the facelets question, remember that the ultimate goal of any view technology in JSF is to produce a UI model. In the JSP case, you have a JSP which generates a .java, compiles to a .class. The servlet is then loaded into to memory. When a request comes in, the servlet excutes and produces a UI model for JSF to use. With facelets, the .xhtml file is compile to a UI model in memory for JSF. Which do you think is more efficient?
