What components are MVC in JSF MVC framework?

Question

In JSF MVC framework who is Model, View, and Controller?

Answer 1

Java Server Faces is an MVC web framework where the MVC components are as follows,

1. Model - It is the managed bean class annotated with @ManagedBean, which has properties to hold the data and respective getters and setters. The managed bean class can also contain the business logic.These are also known as backing beans which can have different scopes like request, session, application.

2. View - The user interface shown to the client i.e. .xhtml files. It gets the data from the managed beans and it is rendered as the response.

3. Controller - javax.servlet.webapp.FacesServlet is the centralized controller class which is basically a servlet. Any request that comes to the JSF first goes to the FacesServlet controller. Unlike the JSP in which we write our own controller class, in JSF the controller servlet is a fixed part of the framework and we do not write it.
