JavaServer Faces - Core Features

Core Features

  • Managed Beans: A dependency injection system (easily interfaced with Seam, CDI, Spring, or Guice) - also called "Backing Beans" or "Page Beans"
  • A template-based component system, for rapid composite component creation - without the need for Java classes.
  • Built-in Ajax support using (since JSF v2.0).
  • Built-in support for bookmarking & page-load actions.
  • Integration with the Unified Expression Language (EL), which is core to the function of JSF. Views may access managed bean fields and methods via EL:
  • A default set of HTML and web-application specific UI components
  • A server-side event model : For dispatching events and attaching listeners to core system functionality, such as "Before Render Response" or "After Validation"
  • State management, supporting: "request", "session", "application", "flash", and "view" scoped Java beans.
  • Two XML-based tag libraries (core and html) for expressing a JavaServer Faces interface within a view template (can be used with both JSP or Facelets)

Famous quotes containing the words core and/or features:

    In the core of God’s abysm,—
    Was a weed of self and schism;
    And ever the Daemonic Love
    Is the ancestor of wars,
    And the parent of remorse.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is a tribute to the peculiar horror of contemporary life that it makes the worst features of earlier times—the stupefaction of the masses, the obsessed and driven lives of the bourgeoisie—seem attractive by comparison.
    Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
