If we want to use any of the above on JSP then we need to use tag lib directive:
<%@ taglib prefix="f"
uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" %>
If we want to use the same on xhtml pages then we need to inculde the same as:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" />
