Thanks Sergio. I have read about JSF some time ago on the Sun website. 
It looks interesting, but it's still not ready yet. Now, the question is 
are we going to try using it? This article says :

"For applications now (or about to be) under development that have
relatively short term schedules (i.e. the next few months), you
should probably stick with the existing HTML library."

Could we consider our project a short term?

You asked me to have a look at new features of Struts 1.1, especially 
Tiles. The seem to be a good way to provide a clear structure of the 
sites or web based parts of the applications.
Here is an article presenting the possibiites offered by Tiles:

Take a look at solutions 6 and 7. I think that they would be most 
interesting for us.
