PHP, and to a lesser degree JSF has become very popular ways to build web
applications. What I don't understand, and what I would like you all to
comment on, is how these methods are the best way to build web applications.
I come from the traditional Struts/JAVA world and the traditional MVC
archetecture. It seems to me, and I could be wrong, that PHP and JSF seem to
be pulling more business and data layer code up to the View Layer. I don't
see how this is a good thing. Wouldn't it be better to use the traditional
method and keep the code out of the view? How does one maintain the code? It
will be scattered across web source code (PHP pages, etc.)... The coupling
would seem to be really high and that can't be a good thing for reusue..

Can someone give me an idea of where I am wrong?
