| javax.faces | Top level classes for the JavaServer(tm) Faces API. |
| javax.faces.application | APIs that are used to link an application's business logic objects to JavaServer Faces, as well as convenient pluggable mechanisms to manage the execution of an application that is based on JavaServer Faces. |
| javax.faces.bean | These javadoc files constitute the “Faces Managed Bean Annotation Specification for Containers Conforming to Servlet 2.5 and Beyond” At the time of this writing, a forthcoming JCP effort is being planned to extract the specification for managed beans from JSF and place it into its own specification. |
| javax.faces.component | Fundamental APIs for user interface components. For your convenience here is a UML class diagram of the classes in this package. |
| javax.faces.component.behavior | APIs for attaching additional behavior to user interface components. |
| javax.faces.component.html | Specialized user interface component classes for HTML. |
| javax.faces.component.visit | APIs for traversing a user interface component view. The following example visits all nodes in the view. UIViewRoot root = facesContext. getViewRoot ( ) ; root. visitTree ( VisitContext. createVisitContext ( context ) , new VisitCallback ( ) { public VisitResult visit ( VisitContext context, UIComponent target ) { // take some action on target return VisitResult. ACCEPT ; } } ) ; The following example visits two subtrees within the component view. Set<String> toVisit = getSet ( "form1:optionsPanel" , "form2:detailPanel" ) ; UIViewRoot root = facesContext. getViewRoot ( ) ; root. visitTree ( VisitContext. createVisitContext ( context, toVisit, null ) , new VisitCallback ( ) { public VisitResult visit ( VisitContext context, UIComponent target ) { // take some action on target return VisitResult. ACCEPT ; } } ) ; Note that every child node of those two subtrees is visited. |
| javax.faces.context | Classes and interfaces defining per-request state information. |
| javax.faces.convert | Contains classes and interfaces defining converters. |
| javax.faces.el | DEPRECATED Classes and interfaces for evaluating and processing reference expressions. |
| javax.faces.event | Interfaces describing events and event listeners, and concrete event implementation classes. |
| javax.faces.lifecycle | Classes and interfaces defining lifecycle management for the JavaServer Faces implementation. |
| javax.faces.model | Standard model data beans for JavaServer Faces. |
| javax.faces.render | Classes and interfaces defining the rendering model. |
| javax.faces.validator | Interface defining the validator model, and concrete validator implementation classes. |
| javax.faces.view | Classes for defining a View Declaration Language (VDL) for authoring JavaServer Faces user interfaces. |
| javax.faces.view.facelets | This package contains public classes for the Java code API of Facelets. |
| javax.faces.webapp | Classes required for integration of JavaServer Faces into web applications, including a standard servlet, base classes for JSP custom component tags, and concrete tag implementations for core tags. |
