java - How do portlets relate to JSF? -
i haven't worked java portlets or jsf 'till , thought might try learn them. high view seems me both used building component-based user interfaces web applications. more read, more find confusing.
i know portlets need run in portlet container both technologies seem "widget" builders.
how portlets relate jsf?
a high-level analogy:
portlet container desktop windowing system ========================================================== portlet window jsf widget framework jsf tag widget
the portlet provides api allows application receive , respond requests container. not specify use render portlet views or how application organizes data. in this, portlet similar servlet.
jsf provides means specifying views, navigating between them, , interacting model layer.
a specialized portlet acts jsf controller/container - typically portlet bridge.
