An Overview of the JSF Core Tags

The core library is the poor stepchild of the HTML library the former exists entirely to support the latter. The core tags are listed in Table 4-1.

Table 4-1. JSF Core Tags
Tag	Description
`view`	Creates the top-level view
`subview`	Creates a subview of a view
`facet`	Adds a facet to a component
`attribute`	Adds an attribute (key/value) to a component
`param`	Adds a parameter to a component
`actionListener`	Adds an action listener to a component
`valueChangeListener`	Adds a valuechange listener to a component
`converter`	Adds an arbitrary converter to a component
`convertDateTime`	Adds a datetime converter to a component
`convertNumber`	Adds a number converter to a component
`validator`	Adds a validator to a component
`validateDoubleRange`	Validates a `double` range for a component's value
`validateLength`	Validates the length of a component's value
`validateLongRange`	Validates a `long` range for a component's value
`loadBundle`	Loads a resource bundle, stores properties as a Map
`selectitems`	Specifies items for a select one or select many component
`selectitem`	Specifies an item for a select one or select many component
`verbatim`	Adds markup to a JSF page

Most of the core tags represent objects you add to components:

Attributes
Listeners
Converters
Validators
Facets
Parameters
Select items

The core library also contains tags for defining views and subviews, loading resource bundles, and adding arbitrary text to a page.

All of the core tags are discussed at length elsewhere in this book.

NOTE

All tag attributes, except for var and id, accept value reference expressions. The majority of those expressions represent value bindings; a handful represent method bindings.
