How to create a page

First of all, create a page in XHTML file format, a file with a .xhtml extension and declared the necessary Namespaces.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"
      xmlns:p="http://primefaces.org/ui"
	  xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
	  xmlns:pt="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/passthrough"
	  xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
	  xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"
      xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
	  xmlns:crm="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/crm">

</html>

Define the template of the page in a ui:composition tag.

<ui:composition template=""></ui:composition>

By default a template provides the base interface layout of the page (header, footer, topbar, main menu, content) as well as the following tags:

"managedBean" parameter - contains the name of the managed bean that will be used from template

<ui:param name="managedBean" value=""></ui:param>

"back-button" placeholder - defines the back button of the page that will be inserted in the left side of the topbar before the title

<ui:define name="back-button"></ui:define>

"title" placeholder - defines the title of the page that will be inserted n the left side of the topbar

<ui:define name="title"></ui:define>

"viewname" placeholder - defines the view name in breadcrumb of the page

<ui:define name="viewname"></ui:define>

"actions" placeholder - defines the actions of the page that will be inserted in the right side of the topbar

<ui:define name="actions"></ui:define>

"content" placeholder - defines the actual content of the page

<ui:define name="content"></ui:define>

Namespaces

The following namespaces should be defined in html root element of a page.

Tag Library	URI	Prefix	Contents

Templates

The available templates are:

summary_template.xhtml - it is used for a summary page
data_entry_template.xhtml - it is used for a data entry page

Managed Bean

A typical JavaServer Faces application includes one or more managed beans, each of which can be associated with the components used in a particular page.

A managed bean for summary pages must extend SummaryView class and for data entry pages must extend DataEntryView class.

@ManagedBean(name = "summaryManagedBeanView", eager = true)
@ViewScoped
public class SummaryManagedBeanView extends SummaryView {

}

@ManagedBean(name = "dataEntryManagedBeanView", eager = true)
@ViewScoped
public class DataEntryManagedBeanView extends DataEntryView{

}
