6.1 Configuring JSF and JSTL With Web Applications

JSF 2.0 JavaServer™ Faces and JSTL 1.2 JSP™ Standard Tag Library packages are bundled with WebLogic Server as shared Web application libraries. These libraries can be referenced by standard Web applications that use JSF or JSTL functionality. For information on referencing these shared libraries with your Web applications, see Creating Shared Java EE Libraries and Optional Packages in Developing Applications for Oracle WebLogic Server.

6.1.1 JavaServer Faces JSF

JavaServer Faces technology simplifies building user interfaces for JavaServer applications. Developers of various skill levels can quickly build Web applications by: assembling reusable UI components in a page; connecting these components to an application data source; and wiring client-generated events to server-side event handlers. For more information about JSF technology, see JavaServer Faces JSF product overview at http:www.java.sun.comjavaeejavaserverfaces .

6.1.2 JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Libraries JSTL

The JavaServer Pages Standard Tag Library JSTL encapsulates as simple tags the core functionality common to many Web applications. JSTL has support for common, structural tasks such as iteration and conditionals, tags for manipulating XML documents, internationalization tags, and SQL tags. It also provides a framework for integrating existing custom tags with JSTL tags.
