title: JSF vs. plain JSP + Beans?
body: <p>I have the option of doing my next project in either JSF or JSP. Other languages/frameworks are not an option.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use any of the <strong>visual component libraries</strong> like RichFaces, IceFaces, etc, because in the past I've had very bad experiences with them, so I'll be cherry-picking jQuery components to do <strong>exactly</strong> what I want them to do.</p>
  
  <p>Similarly I won't be bothering with <strong>data access components</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Moreover since <strong>JSF comes with many restrictions</strong> over JSPs (e.g. no support for GET, cannot avoid being stateful, etc.), I'm considering going JSP+Beans all the way.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Are there any other things I'll be missing from JSF?</strong></p>
