JavaServer Faces

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a standardized user interface (UI) framework that is used to build Java-based Web applications that run on the server side and render the user interface back to the client.

JSF technology provides Web application life cycle management through a controller servlet and a component model with event handling and component rendering. Users with various skill levels can quickly build Web applications by assembling reusable UI components in a page; connecting these components to an application data source; and wiring client-generated events to server-side event handlers.
