Another great thing about MyFaces components is that MyFaces is an open source project; developers can dive into the source code to see how the JSF framework works and even make contributions to the MyFaces open source community.

Sun has added JSF as part of Java EE 5 (Java EE is Sun's new name for J2EE), and the effort to make a standard and mature Web framework has given JSF a promising future. As testament of JSF's potential, AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is now part of JSF, so developers can now make the best use of both technologies. To explore AJAX in JSF, check out MyFaces sandbox component or Ajax4Jsf.
