Java "Trying to combine JSF and JSP is like trying to shoehorn a foot into a glove: it's possible, but it's really just a stopgap measure until something better comes along. In this article, JSF enthusiast Rick Hightower introduces you to what he likes best about Facelets: easy HTML-style templating and reusable composition components."

Xml with xslt you have to try Cocoon, but I do not see really a point, xml+xslt has its own purposes, JSF is something entirely different it is a framework to build highly interactive server rendered applications, and facelets is a templating technology for enabling easy componentization.

XSl+XSLT is comparable to JSF like PDF to QT or the Win32 api, both try to fill different nieches of the presentation layer.
