JSF has six libraries of tags that can be used in JSF pages. They are listed below. This presentation focuses on JSF HTML tags, but has brief descriptions of plain HTML tags and JSF Core tags. It also provides several example web applications that use these tags and resources.

Library	Namespace Identifier	Common prefixes	Reference
Core	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/core	f	here
HTML	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html	h	here
Facelets	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets	ui	here
Composite Components	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/composite	composite cc	here
JSTL Core	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsp/jstl/core	c	here
JSTL Functions	http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsp/jstl/functions	fn	here

The core library contains the tags that are independent of HTML rendering. Most of the core tags represent objects you add to components, such as the following:

• Attributes
• Parameters
• Facets
• Listeners
• Converters
• Validators
• Selection Items

These tags are described where they are used in JSF HTML tags.

This section provides links to and file listings of actual applications described in chapter 4.
