JSF 1.x uses JavaServer Pages (JSP) for its display technology. JavaServer Faces is a standardized technology which was formalized in a specification through the Java Community Process.

Famous quotes containing the word faces:
“While the music is performed, the cameras linger savagely over the faces of the audience. What a bottomless chasm of vacuity they reveal! Those who flock round the Beatles, who scream themselves into hysteria, whose vacant faces flicker over the TV screen, are the least fortunate of their generation, the dull, the idle, the failures . . .”
—Paul Johnson (b. 1928)
