JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a very useful standard framework (JSR-127) for Java developers because it defines an API and a basic set of tags for building Web-based user interfaces. Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF) Faces, based on the JSF framework, adds many new UI components and simplifies Web application development. This paper shows how to modify JSF pages in an existing application to use Oracle ADF Faces, and explains the benefits of this new UI framework. The reader will find out how to add ADF Faces to existing JSF projects, and how to enhance the Web applications by using the rich UI components provided by ADF Faces.
