RSF is an open source Java web framework built on the Spring Framework, with roughly the same scope as Sun's JSF. 0.7.2 features complete integration with Spring Web Flow, letting SWF flows be ported to a pure-HTML and pure-Spring environment, combining SWF's robust state management with RSF's strong markup focus.

Apart from the work on Spring Web Flow, RSF version 0.7.2 is mainly a "consolidation" release - it regularises various aspects of the component tree structure and rendering rules which had historically been problematic edge cases. Some new template syntaxes and rules are introduced to streamline common usages.

Since it has roughly the same scope as Sun's JSF, Reasonable Server Faces (RSF) takes responsibility for the entire request processing cycle through HTTP request decoding, maintaining a bean model, invoking actions, directing errors, interpreting results and rendering views. It also takes upon itself the task of maintaining relevant state between requests. Clients (at the Java level) should never be troubled by the fact they are dealing with HTTP or HTML, whereas clients (at the UI level) should never be troubled by the fact that they are dealing with anything BUT HTML (referred to as "separation of concerns").
