JavaServer Faces Technology
JavaServer Faces technology is a server-side user interface component framework for Java
technology-based web applications.
The main components of JavaServer Faces technology are as follows:
An
for representing UI components and managing their state; handling events,
server-side validation, and data conversion; defining page navigation; supporting
internationalization and accessibility; and providing extensibility for all these features
Two
for expressing UI components within a JSP
page and for wiring components to server-side objects
The well-defined programming model and tag libraries significantly ease the burden of building
and maintaining web applications with server-side UIs. With minimal effort, you can
Drop components onto a page by adding component tags
Wire component-generated events to server-side application code
Bind UI components on a page to server-side data
Construct a UI with reusable and extensible components
Save and restore UI state beyond the life of server requests
JavaServer Faces Technology User Interface
As shown in
, the user interface you create with JavaServer Faces technology
(represented by myUI in the graphic) runs on the server and renders back to the client.
