Spring MVC vs Spring WebFlow

I am doing some research for some social network project which i am going to start. I used Spring before yet i cant make a decision at the mo开发者_如何学Cment since there are way too many options to choose.

I would like to use JSF2.0 components on my views , and as far as i figure out webflow is a nice way of doing it yet it is not a must.

What benefits does webflow give over Spring web mvc ? My first impression about WF is it makes things way too complicated.

Thanks in advance

Webflow is about flows in web application.

Think of a Wizzard with several Pages, then Web Flow helps you to connect this Pages (in a flow), and provides a variable scope to connect variable with this flow.

While Spring MVC is "only" about isolated Pages.
