## A Simple JSF Program

- Purpose of a JSF page is to generate an HTML page
- Basic process:
  - HTML tags in the page are retained; they are the static part of the page
  - JSF tags are translated into HTML; translation is dynamic, it depends on the state of Java objects
    - The `h:` tags generate HTML
    - The `f:` describe structural information that the `h:` tags use
  - The `taglib` directives are stripped out
