How to integrate JSF with custom servlets?

Question

I am just starting to work on JavaServer Faces and it looks very attractive. However, I would like to use my own servlets in the same web application as JSF.

This may be really obvious, but what are the best practices for integrating JSF with a “normal” servlet application? This will include access to JSF data from servlets (read and write).

Answer 1

If your servlets are well written, they should already not have any business logic inside, but just pure request / response / preprocessing / postprocessing logic. Business logic should already be hosted in stand-alone javabean-like domain / model classes. Database logic should already be placed in standalone DAO classes. Etc. You can just use them all in JSF.
