JavaServer Faces

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

JavaServer Faces or JSF simplify the development of user interfaces for J2EE applications using JavaServer Pages. It is a framework for building user interfaces for web applications. It includes:

1. A set of APIs for representing UI components and managing their state, handling events and input validation, defining page navigation, and supporting internationalization and accessibility
2. A JavaServer Pages (JSP) custom tag library for expressing a JavaServer Faces interface within a JSP page.

The JSF specification is defined by JSR 127 of the Java Community Process.
