title: Using Spring with JSF/Facelets
body: <p>I would like some clarification on some things. </p>
  
  <p>I have developed a web application in the Eclipse IDE using JSF and facelets (xhtml web pages). Now, my manager told me to re-create this application but as a <strong>RESTful web application using Spring</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I did some research on Spring MVC and its DI/IoC features and have a few questions:</p>
  
  <p>I see that Spring offers DI/IoC, does JSF not offer that?
  Can you create RESTful web apps in JSF?
  Since JSF uses beans just like Spring, what advantage is there to use Spring over JSF?
  Are the facelets just the view part of the Spring framework? 
  Can I use Spring IoC/DI with facelets?</p>
  
  <p>I am starting to think he just wants me to keep the project as is but add the IoC/DI of Spring. </p>
  
  <p>As you can see, I am quite confused on this subject and would like some clarification.</p>
