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.

Famous quotes containing the word faces:
“Complete courage and absolute cowardice are extremes that very few men fall into. The vast middle space contains all the intermediate kinds and degrees of courage; and these differ as much from one another as men’s faces or their humors do.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
