Example Application

Let us create a test JSF application to test the above tag.

Step	Description
1	Create a project with a name helloworld under a package com.tutorialspoint.test as explained in the JSF - First Application chapter.
2	Modify home.xhtml as explained below. Keep rest of the files unchanged.
3	Compile and run the application to make sure business logic is working as per the requirements.
4	Finally, build the application in the form of war file and deploy it in Apache Tomcat Webserver.
5	Launch your web application using appropriate URL as explained below in the last step.

home.xhtml

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

   <h2>h:graphicImage example</h2>
   <hr />
   <h:form>      
      <h3>Image</h3>
      <h:graphicImage value="/images/jsf-mini-logo.png"/>
   </h:form>
</body>
</html>
