Inspired by https://github.com/lu4242/performance-comparison-java-web-frameworks
I took the JSF application, ported it to CDI and created profiles for MyFaces 4 and Mojarra 4. The JMeter config is preconfigured for 100 threads and 200 loops.
Its also quite interesting compared to another case (http://tandraschko.blogspot.com/2019/03/way-to-myfaces-30.html), where the results of Mojarra 2.3 and MyFaces 2.3 were almost the same and MyFaces 2.3-next was ~15% faster as both Mojarra 2.3 and MyFaces 2.3. The big difference is that this benchmark simulates a real-world application with Hibernate and a bit business logic.
NOTE: MyFaces and Mojarra are both configured for better performance. It does not test stateless view or MyFaces ViewPooling. There should not be a big difference.

Test configuration:
- AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics 3.80 GHz
- 32 GB DDR5 6400 MHz
- Windows 11 Home 26200.8655
- OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu25.34+17-CA (build 25.0.3+9-LTS)
- Tomcat 10.1.56
Requires Java >= 11 and Maven to build the project.
- download Tomcat 10.1.X
- extract it 2 times (tomcat-myfaces, tomcat-mojarra)
- copy the server.xml file from ./tomcat/conf to all 2 instances, which disables autoDeployment and accessLogValve
- go the ./application
- mvn clean package -Pmyfaces, copy the generated war and extract it to ./tomcat-myfaces/webapps/jsfbench
- mvn clean package -Pmojarra, copy the generated war and extract it to ./tomcat-mojarra/webapps/jsfbench
- download JMeter 5.6+
- Increase MaxUserPort if you are on Windows: https://deploymentresearch.com/research/post/532/fix-for-windows-10-exhausted-pool-of-tcp-ip-ports
- run one of the tomcats (e.g.
./tomcat-myfaces/bin/startup.bat) - run jmeter via command line (e.g.
jmeter -n -t application.jmx -l results.jtl -e -o report-output) - run it once for a warmup
- clean the results
- run again and see the results under /report-output/index.html
