About Support for JViews Framework Faces

JViews Framework Faces support is based on JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology and consists of:

The tag library (a set of JSP tags).
A Java API.
A set of DHTML objects.

The JSP tags are used to build JSP pages. Each tag represents a component and has a set of attributes for configuring the component. The JViews Framework Faces component set includes:

A view.
An overview.
A pan tool.
A zoom tool.
A set of interactors.

Not all the components have a visual representation. For example, an interactor is intended only to be set on a view and has no visual representation.

When a tag is processed by the JSP engine, it is compiled into Java code that is executed to produce the page content. The tag library produces DHTML objects. Each object can be referenced by JavaScript code and can be modified on the client side without a server roundtrip.
