Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hi

I am a JSF newbie. I was working on a sample application on JSF 1.2 with Tomcat. After working on some 5-6 screens, I realized that I hadn't made any entries to faces-config.xml (in fact the xml is empty other than the "faces-config" tag). But the application goes on working fine. So, "#{item.name}" successfully maps to "com.any.entity.Item". My class doesn't have any annotation either.

How does JSF know which class to pick? Does it look at the bind name in this instance and searches for a class with its camel-case text in all of class-path.


Thanks in advance
Kumar
