Spring MVC vs. JSF and The State of Spring Web Alternative Adult has only posted a couple times in 2008, but his entries have peaked my interest.

Spring MVC or JSF+?
My business unit is trying to standardize if we can on a single Java-based Web framework going forward to simplify the Web development process, especially as individual developers move from one division to another, or centralized support groups need to maintain multiple applications from multiple divisions.

At the enterprise level within my company, the architecture group says that they will provide support for either Spring MVC or JSF+ (where the + represents the accompanying technologies you would use to provide a more maintainable application and a more rich user experience, e.g. Facelets, Richfaces, etc.).

Cool! In addition, the Web Flow 2 release announcement sums up the "State of Spring Web" by explaining how Spring's web modules of Spring Web MVC, Web Flow, JavaScript, and Faces relate to one another. Spring Web is a exciting place to be :-)

do this mean Struts2 dead end?

No, it means Michael's company didn't allow him to consider Struts 2. I think Struts 2 is one of the best Java Web Frameworks for RESTful applications. Spring MVC is there with add-ons (and claims it will be there with 3.0), but it's not currently.
