The difference between standard JSF and PrimeFaces components


Standard JSF components such as h:inputText result in simple HTML being emitted into the page. To demonstrate what I mean, you need to perform the following steps:

  2. To create the folder, right-click on the Web Pages folder in the Project navigator and move the mouse over the New item. Select the Folder option, name the folder chapter2, and click on Finish.
