Apache MyFaces is an open source implementation of the JavaServer Faces specification. It is distributed as free software under version 2.0 of the Apache license .

MyFaces is currently available in five different versions (compatible with JSF 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2) and is a top-level project of the Apache Software Foundation . In September 2005, MyFaces passed the JSF 1.2 Official Compatibility Test (TCK).

Compared to the JSF reference implementation Mojarra from the GlassFish project, MyFaces offers more surface components. In addition to a dynamic navigation tree and data browser, a calendar and HTML editor component is also included. There are also surface components that were implemented with the aid of Ajax technology.

MyFaces is divided into the following sub-projects:

MyFaces Core

JSF API and JSF implementation with standard components

MyFaces Tomahawk

advanced JSF components

MyFaces Tomahawk Sandbox

advanced JSF components in beta stage, no guarantee for the stability of the access interface

MyFaces Trinidad

the former Oracle ADF-Faces component library

MyFaces Tobago

GUI framework, no HTML knowledge required

MyFaces Orchestra

Integration in Spring, persistence assurance, dialog framework

MyFaces Portlet Bridge

Implementation of the standardized portlet bridge (JSR-301)
