I finished learning JSPs/Servlets, and now starting to learn the JSF framework. As I was learning it, I started to wonder: is JSF 2.0 build based on servlets? When a request comes to a .xhtml page, is it handled by (one of the) core-framework servlets, or is it built on an even lower-level technology, and originally handled by the Webserver itself?
