10 MyFaces Overview
The Apache MyFaces project is an implementation of the JavaServer Faces (JSF) specifications. It
also provides a set of JSF components that go beyond the JSF specifications. The MyFaces "core"
project is an implementation of the JSF specifications and its sub-projects add features that work
with MyFaces core or any other implementation of JSF specifications.
NOTE: Any mention to Apache MyFaces in this document refers to MyFaces version 2.0.2 and
any mention of JSF refers to JSF version 2.0.
The Apache MyFaces project provides:
•
A JavaServer Faces implementation (MyFaces API, MyFaces Impl modules)
•
Component libraries for building web applications using JSF (for example, MyFaces Tomahawk,
MyFaces Trinidad)
•
Implementation and extension packages to JSFs (for example, MyFaces Extensions Validator)
