JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a standardized specification for building User Interfaces (UI) for server-side applications. Before JavaServer Faces, developers who built web applications often relied on building HTML user interface components with servlets or JavaServer Pages (JSP pages). This is mainly because HTML user interface components are the lowest common denominator that web browsers support. The implication, of course, is that such web applications do not have rich user interfaces, compared with standalone fat clients, and therefore less functionality and/or poor usability. While applets can be used to develop rich user interfaces, web application developers don't always know what clients will be accessing the application and/or they may have no access to the client device.
