JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a Java-based web application framework intended to simplify development integration of web-based user interfaces.
JSF is a request-driven MVC web framework for constructing user interfaces using components. As a display technology, JSF 2 uses Facelets. Other view technologies such as XUL can also be employed. 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. It is part of the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition.

Famous quotes containing the word faces:
“Arrive in the afternoon, the late light slanting
In diluted gold bars across the boulevard brag
Of proud, seamed faces with mercy and murder hinting
here, there, interrupting, all deep and debonair,
The pink paint on the innocence of fear;
Walk in a gingerly manner up the hall.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
