Using the Core Tags

The tags included in the JavaServer Faces core tag library are used to perform core actions that are independent of a particular render kit. These tags are listed in Figure.

Event-handling tags	`actionListener`	Registers an action listener on a parent component
	`phaseListener`	Registers a `PhaseListener` instance on a `UIViewRoot` component
	`setPropertyActionListener`	Registers a special action listener whose sole purpose is to push a value into a backing bean when a form is submitted
	`valueChangeListener`	Registers a value-change listener on a parent component
Attribute configuration tag	`attribute`	Adds configurable attributes to a parent component
Data conversion tags	`converter`	Registers an arbitrary converter on the parent component
	`convertDateTime`	Registers a `DateTime` converter instance on the parent component

Facet tag	`facet`	Signifies a nested component that has a special relationship to its enclosing tag
Localization tag	`loadBundle`	Specifies a `ResourceBundle` that is exposed as a `Map`

Validator tags	`validateDoubleRange`	Registers a `DoubleRangeValidator` on a component
	`validateLength`	Registers a `LengthValidator` on a component
	`validateLongRange`	Registers a `LongRangeValidator` on a component

Output tag	`verbatim`	Generates a `UIOutput` component that gets its content from the body of this tag
Container for form tags	`view`	Encloses all JavaServer Faces tags on the page

These tags are used in conjunction with component tags and are therefore explained in other sections of this tutorial. Figure lists the sections that explain how to use specific jsf_core tags.
