There is an existing web application created in Struts. There is a need to totally redo the UI. What is the best way to improve the UI? Will intrducing JSF components like PrimeFaces into the existing Struts code be a good idea? Or what are the options available?
It is hard to join Struts with JSF, since those are two different frameworks trying to do the same thing. So, in practice, you’ll end-up rewriting your application. JSF pages and JSP (which are used by Struts) have different livecycle, JSF Beans are working in a different way then Struts Actions.
The point is to make use of that what you already have and make your JSP look better. I would choose good JavaScript UI library and rewrite JSP pages using it. ExtJS is a very good, if you want complete solution. If you want to create custom solution looke at jQuery, Backbone and Mustache templating engine.
