This is the official homepage of the first free open source JavaServer(tm) Faces implementation called "Apache MyFaces".

JavaServer(tm) Faces is a web application framework that accomplishes the MVC paradigm. It is comparable to the well-known Struts Framework but has features and concepts that are beyond those of Struts; especially the component orientation. Look at Sun's JavaServer(tm) Page to learn more about the Java Specification Request 127 and to download the specification. You can also find a useful tutorial there!

Make sure to have a look at our examples - you can find a working distribution at http://www.irian.at/open_source.jsf. Find instructions on installing them yourselves in our 'Getting Started' section. If you can't find information you need on these pages, make sure you also go to our WIKI at http://wiki.apache.org/myfaces
