JSF – First Application 


To create a simple JSF application, we'll use maven-archetype-webapp 
plugin. In example below, We'll create a maven based web application 
project in C:\JSF folder. 

Create Project 


Let's open command console, go the C:\ < JSF directory 
and execute the following mvn command. 

C:\JSF<mvn archetype:create  

-DgroupId=com.tutorialspoint.test  

-DartifactId=helloworld  

-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp 

Maven will start processing and will create the complete java web 
application project structure.

Now go to C:/JSF directory. You'll see a java web application project 
created named helloworld (as specified in artifactId). Maven uses a 
standard directory layout as shown below: 
 
Using above example, we can understand following key concepts 



Folder Structure  Description 

helloworld          contains src folder and pom.xml 

src/main/wepapp  contains WEB-INF folder and index.jsp page 

src/main/resources  it contains images/properties files (In above example, 
                        we need to create this structure manually).
