JavaServer Faces was created in 2004.

JavaServer Pages (JSP) is a Java technology that allows software developers to dynamically generate HTML, XML or other types of documents in response to a Web client request.

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a Java-based Web application framework that simplifies the development of user interfaces for Java EE applications. Out of the box, JSF uses JavaServer Pages for its display technology, but JSF can also accommodate other display technologies, such as XUL, for example.

JSF stands for JavaServer Faces. JSF is a server-side framework for develop java web applications.

The advantages of JSF include, the clean separation between behavior and presentation that this technology provides and the simplification in the burden of building and maintaining web applications.

A typical JavaServer Faces application includes the following parts:

A set of web pages.

A set of tags to add components to the web page.

A set of backing beans which are components that define properties and functions for components on a page.

A web deployment descriptor (web.xml file).

Optionally, one or more application configuration resource files such as a faces-config.xml
