Struts tags are more templates for HTML. They front for things that are more

JSF tags are front faces to underlying components containing behaviors, logic
of their own. JSF is more like Swing in its programming model.

With JSF the browser posts requests to the server which the JSF framework
intercepts and forwards to the underlying components, which in turn form an
underlying application model maintained by the server. The components do
things like invoke business logic, perform surface validations, update the
state of the component model and produce results. The JSF mechanism then
transforms the view part of the actions into HTML and renders that to the client.
