JSF - Facelets Tags



JSF provides special tags to create common layout for a web application called facelets tags. These tags provide flexibility to manage common parts of multiple pages at one place.

For these tags, you need to use the following namespaces of URI in html node.

<html  
   xmlns = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"  
   xmlns:ui = "http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
