Java Server Faces JSF is a Model View Controller framework designed to use JSP to display the interfaces of Java Applications.

JSF Example Code <h:dataTable value="#{mvportal.contacts}" var="contact" rowClasses="odd,even" cellspacing="0"> <h:column> </f:facet> </h:column><h:column> </f:facet> </h:outputLink></h:column></h:dataTable>

JSF Backing Bean public class MVPortalBean extends AbstractViewController { private Date timestamp = null; private Date timestamp = null; private List contacts = new LinkedList (); private List resources = new LinkedList (); private static final Logger LOG = Logger.getLogger(MVPortalBean.class); public Date getTimestamp() { return this.timestamp; } public void setTimestamp(Date timestamp) { this.timestamp = timestamp; } public List getContacts() { return contacts; } public void setContacts(List contacts) { this.contacts = contacts; } public List getResources() { return resources; } public void setResources(List resources) { this.resources = resources; }}
