Apache MyFaces is an Apache Software Foundation project that creates and maintains an open-source JavaServer Faces implementation, along with several libraries of JSF components that can be deployed on the core implementation. The project is divided into several sub-projects:
- Core: an implementation of the JSF 1.1, JSF 1.2 and JSF 2.0 specification and components as specified by JSR 127, JSR 252 and JSR 314 respectively
- Portlet Bridge: an implementation of the JSF Portlet Bridge specification as specified by JSR 301
- Tomahawk: a set of JSF components created by the MyFaces development team prior to its donation to Apache
- Trinidad: a set of JSF components contributed to MyFaces by Oracle, where it was known as ADF Faces
- Tobago: a set of JSF components contributed to MyFaces by Atanion GmbH
- Orchestra: a framework used to manage persistence sessions across various scopes
- Extensions Validator: a JSF centric validation framework, which is based on annotations
- Others: As well as these subprojects, MyFaces has a number of smaller subprojects, for example MyFaces Commons or MyFaces Shared. These subprojects can be found here.
Core
The MyFaces Core subproject is an open-source implementation of the JavaServer Faces specifications 1.1, 1.2 and 2.0. The latest version 2.0.0 was released on 2010-04-21[2]. Each major release of MyFaces Core is certified against the Sun TCK to ensure compliance[3].
The core subproject is divided into two submodules:
- MyFaces API implements all of the classes that are defined in the specification.
- MyFaces Impl provides "invisible" support classes that user code does not directly invoke, but which is needed for a working JSF framework. Examples are the renderer classes for the standard JSF components.
These two submodules are distributed in two libraries, myfaces-api.jar and myfaces-impl.jar. Both of them are needed to be able to deploy a JSF based web application.
The latest release of MyFaces Core is 2.0.3. It requires Java 1.5 or later, JSP 2.1, JSTL 1.2 and a Java Servlet 2.5 implementation[4].
