Is there a built-in support in JSF for client side Javascript validation (like Struts)?

I don't know about "built-in" support, but it is very easy to use javascript within JSF applications. Everything is the same as a usual JSP, however, you access your component values via the following syntax:

passedform["formname:componentid"].value

Hope this answers your question.

You can also customize your components to render javascript.

By built-in support I mean by just adding a line like..

<html:javascript formName = "/Blah"
method = "validateForm"
dynamicJavascript = "true"
staticJavascript = "true"
page = "1"
cdata = "false"/>

in my JSP, the Javascript is automatically provided to me based on the validation rules I specify in the xml, without me having
to manipulate/extend/customize any out of the box functionality. (Struts)

From what it looks like JSF components do not generate the relevant Javascript out of the box.

Nope, they don't. Sun decided to leave that up to the implementation. They did not want that in the specification.

Look at Shale ( http://wiki.apache.org/struts/StrutsShale ). Integration of Commons Validator for client and server-side validation support is already added there. So, you can use it in your JSF application similar to Struts.
