12. JSF Integration

12.1. Introduction

Spring Faces is Spring's JSF integration module that simplifies using JSF with Spring. It lets you use the JSF UI Component Model with Spring MVC and Spring Web Flow controllers.

Spring Faces also includes a small Facelets component library that provides Ajax and client-side validation capabilities. This component library builds on Spring Javascript, a Javascript abstraction framework that integrates Dojo as the underlying UI toolkit.
