What is Mojarra?

Question

How is Mojarra different from Sun\'s JSF Reference Implemenation?

Is it just a later version? Is it simply a rename?

Answer 1

Mojarra is the new name of the Sun's (sorry now Oracle) original JSF reference implementation (also known as JSF RI) from *version 1.2_08* onwards. Sun wanted a BUZZ word for its JSF implementation, so they gave a new name to their JSF implementation.

Mojarra is the default JSF shipped with servers like Glassfish ..etc
