Liferay Faces Portal UI Components

Liferay Faces Portal is a .jar file that you add as a dependency in your JSF portlet project to leverage Liferay Portal’s JSP components in JSF. Liferay Faces Portal provides a way to use liferay-security and liferay-ui JSP components in a typical JSF development fashion. It provides a set of Facelet UIComponent tags as part of its component suite.

For listings, demos, and code examples of Liferay Faces Portal components, check out the Liferay Faces Showcase.

The Liferay Faces Portal project home page can be found at http://www.liferay.com/community/liferay-projects/liferay-faces/portal.

Because Liferay Faces has several active versions (targeting different versions of JSF, Liferay Portal, etc.), there are several versions of the project’s View Declaration Language (VDL) documentation for these tags:

Liferay Faces 4.2: http://www.liferayfaces.org/doc/faces/4.2/vdldoc/portal/tld-summary.html

Liferay Faces 3.2: http://www.liferayfaces.org/doc/faces/3.2/vdldoc/portal/tld-summary.html

Liferay Faces 3.1: http://docs.liferay.com/faces/3.1/vdldoc/

Liferay Faces 3.0: http://docs.liferay.com/faces/3.0/vdldoc/

Liferay Faces 3.0-legacy: http://docs.liferay.com/faces/3.0-legacy/vdldoc/
