Class and Description
ActionSource ActionSource is an interface that may be implemented by any concrete UIComponent that wishes to be a source of ActionEvents, including the ability to invoke application actions via the default ActionListener mechanism.
ActionSource2 ActionSource2 extends ActionSource and provides a JavaBeans property analogous to the "action" property on ActionSource.
ContextCallback A simple callback interace that enables taking action on a specific UIComponent (either facet or child) in the view while preserving any contextual state for that component instance in the view.
EditableValueHolder EditableValueHolder is an extension of ValueHolder that describes additional features supported by editable components, including ValueChangeEvents and Validators.
NamingContainer NamingContainer is an interface that must be implemented by any UIComponent that wants to be a naming container.
PartialStateHolder Components that want to leverage the partial state saving feature must implement this interface instead of implementing StateHolder, from which this interface inherits.
StateHelper Define a Map-like contract that makes it easier for components to implement PartialStateHolder.
StateHolder This interface is implemented by classes that need to save their state between requests.
TransientStateHelper Define a Map-like contract that makes it easier for components to implement TransientStateHolder.

UIComponent UIComponent is the base class for all user interface components in JavaServer Faces.
UIComponentBase UIComponentBase is a convenience base class that implements the default concrete behavior of all methods defined by UIComponent.
UIInput UIInput is a UIComponent that represents a component that both displays output to the user (like UIOutput components do) and processes request parameters on the subsequent request that need to be decoded.
UIOutput UIOutput is a UIComponent that has a value, optionally retrieved from a model tier bean via a value expression, that is displayed to the user.
UIViewParameter UIViewParameter represents a binding between a request parameter and a model property or UIViewRoot property.
UniqueIdVendor UniqueIdVendor is an interface implemented by UIComponents that also implement NamingContainer so that they can provide unique ids based on their own clientId.
ValueHolder ValueHolder is an interface that may be implemented by any concrete UIComponent that wishes to support a local value, as well as access data in the model tier via a value expression, and support conversion between String and the model tier data's native data type.
