Apache's implementation of the JavaServer Faces (JSF) and Jakarta Faces specification

## Branches

### main

Jakarta Faces 5.0 implementation  

### 4.1.x

![4.1.x](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/org.apache.myfaces.core/myfaces-impl?versionPrefix=4.1&color=cyan)

Jakarta Faces 4.1 implementation  

### 4.0.x

![4.0.x](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/org.apache.myfaces.core/myfaces-impl?versionPrefix=4.0&color=cyan)

Jakarta Faces 4.0 implementation  

Based on the refactored 2.3-next codebase

### 2.3-next

![2.3-next](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/org.apache.myfaces.core/myfaces-impl?versionPrefix=2.3-next&color=cyan)

(Almost) JavaServer Faces 2.3 implementation  

Completely refactored codebase compared to 2.3, also providing a Quarkus extension  

2.3-next equals the JSF 2.3 API but delegates @ManagedBeans to CDI; ManagedBeans configured via XML are completely ignored. The implementation of the old FacesEL (javax.faces.el.*) also has been completely removed.

### 2.3.x

![2.3](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/org.apache.myfaces.core/myfaces-impl?versionPrefix=2.3&color=cyan)

JavaServer Faces 2.3 implementation

## Minimum Requirements (main)

- Java 17+

- Servlet 5.0+

- EL 5.0+

- CDI 4.0+

- JSTL 3.0+ (optional)

- BV 3.0+ (optional)

## Installation

mvn clean install

## Usage

### Dependency

```xml

    org.apache.myfaces.core

    myfaces-api

    5.0.0-SNAPSHOT

    org.apache.myfaces.core

    myfaces-impl

    5.0.0-SNAPSHOT

```

### web.xml

```xml

    

        Faces Servlet

        jakarta.faces.webapp.FacesServlet

    

    

        Faces Servlet

        *.xhtml

    

```

### index.xhtml

```xml

  

  

  

    Hello World!

  

```

## Quarkus extension

Since 2.3-next a Quarkus extension is available. A sample project can be found here: https://github.com/apache/myfaces/blob/main/extensions/quarkus/showcase/

### Not supported features:

- Quarkus does not support session replication / passivation / clustering

- Quarkus beans are not serializable and therefore session passivation would never work anyway

- Quarkus does not implement `@ConversationScoped`

- Quarkus does not support injection in normal objects, therefore injection in JSF artifacts like NavigationHandler etc. is not supported

### Differences to a normal servlet container while developing

- You need to put your views under `src/main/resources/META-INF/resources` as Quarkus doesn't create a WAR and src/main/webapp is ignored!
