About the technology

What Jakarta Faces does

Jakarta Faces (JSF) is a component-based framework for building server-side Java web interfaces. It manages the view, request lifecycle, validation and conversion around reusable UI components. The technology was formerly known as JavaServer Faces and now belongs to the Jakarta EE ecosystem.

Interfaces and applications

Jakarta Faces is used for data-heavy business applications where forms, tables, workflows and role-based screens matter more than highly interactive consumer interfaces. It fits internal portals, administration consoles, customer service tools and enterprise systems that need consistent server-side rendering.

  • Multi-step forms and approval workflows
  • Search screens with filters, sorting and pagination
  • Data tables, dashboards and operational portals
  • Reusable views for Java and Jakarta EE applications

Ecosystem and tooling

Strong specialists work with Facelets, XHTML views, managed beans or CDI beans, navigation rules and composite components. They also understand scopes, converters, validators, resource libraries and AJAX requests through the JSF lifecycle. Common adjacent technologies include Jakarta Servlet, Jakarta Persistence, REST services, Spring integration and application servers such as WildFly or Payara.

When companies need specialists

Freelance expertise is useful when an established JSF application needs modernization, a team must resolve lifecycle defects or a new enterprise interface has to be delivered without disrupting backend services. Companies also bring in specialists to migrate from JavaServer Faces packages to Jakarta namespaces, improve accessibility or reduce slow page rendering.

  • Assess a legacy JSF codebase and its component library
  • Refactor views, scopes, validators and backing logic
  • Upgrade dependencies and application-server configuration
  • Diagnose AJAX, state-saving and navigation problems

What strong professionals bring

The best professionals understand the full request lifecycle rather than treating JSF as a collection of tags. They separate view concerns from domain logic, select scopes carefully and test validation, navigation and partial rendering paths. They can also explain when JSF is a sound fit and when a client-rendered approach would be more suitable.

Delivery and collaboration

A JSF engagement should define the target Jakarta EE version, supported application server, component library, authentication model and browser requirements early. Remote work is effective when repositories, test environments and UI acceptance criteria are accessible to everyone. Review the specialist’s examples of production forms, migrations, performance fixes and maintainable Facelets structure before starting.

Frequently asked questions

Everything clients usually want to know about Jakarta Faces (JSF), in one place.

Jakarta Faces (JSF) is used to build server-side Java web interfaces with forms, tables, validation, navigation and reusable components. It is common in enterprise portals, administration tools and workflow applications connected to Jakarta EE services.

Jakarta Faces handles much of the view state, form processing and server-side rendering for you. A JavaScript framework usually offers richer client-side interaction and a separate frontend architecture, while JSF can be a practical choice for form-heavy enterprise systems with an existing Java backend.

A strong JSF freelancer should understand Facelets, CDI, Jakarta Servlet, Bean Validation and Jakarta Persistence. Experience with REST services, security, application servers and component libraries is also valuable for work on complete enterprise applications.

The required experience depends on the application’s age, component library and migration scope. A specialist handling lifecycle defects, state management or a move from JavaServer Faces to Jakarta Faces should have solved comparable production issues, not only built basic pages.

Jakarta Faces may need modernization when the application has outdated dependencies, difficult-to-maintain views, weak accessibility or slow partial requests. A review should distinguish framework problems from issues in database queries, component libraries, server configuration or application design.

JSF work can be handled remotely when the specialist has access to the codebase, application-server environment, test data and deployment process. Clear UI acceptance criteria and regular screen reviews help resolve issues involving layouts, validation messages and browser behavior.

Ask how the specialist approaches the JSF lifecycle, scopes, validation, navigation and partial rendering. Review examples that show clean Facelets, isolated business logic, automated tests and clear reasoning about performance, accessibility and component-library choices.

JavaServer Faces is the former name of Jakarta Faces, commonly abbreviated as JSF. The move to Jakarta Faces is tied to the Jakarta EE namespace change, so migration work can involve package names, dependencies, server compatibility and application configuration.

The average hourly rate of freelancers who have used Jakarta Faces (JSF) in their recent projects is 92 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 736 € based on an 8-hour working day.
