I have been using JSF 2.0 with Tomcat for some personal projects and it's pretty nice. Using JSF you can quickly prototype things and the EL makes it simple to tie your java code (beans) to the web page (jsp). With JSF 2.0 the faces-config.xml is gone and you just use annotations which has really simplified the whole JSF experience. Edit: I should also add that JSF 2.0 makes ajax simple.
