Using JavaServerTM Faces Technology in Web Pages

Web pages represent the presentation layer for web applications. The process of creating web pages of a JavaServer Faces application includes tasks such as adding components to the page and wiring them to backing beans, validators, converters, and other server-side objects that are associated with the page.

This chapter explains how to create web pages using different types of component and core tags. In the next chapter you will learn about adding converters, validators and listeners to component tags that will provide additional functionality to components.

The following topics are addressed here:
