This chapter has been leading us gently through the JavaServer Faces technology. More importantly, in it, Budi teaches ushow to write an online survey application to get a feel for how this great technology works. This chapter prepares you for the next chapters by introducing the JSF Application Programming Interface (API) and the Application Configuration file. This excerpt comes from chapter two of JavaServer Faces Programming, by Budi Kurniawan (McGraw-Hill/Osborne, ISBN 0-07-222983-7, 2004).
Note that you need two library files in the lib directory and the servlet-api.jar file. In Tomcat 5, the servlet-api.jar file can be found in the common/lib directory of Tomcat’s home directory.

To run the application, direct your browser to the following URL:
