API catalog

Overview

This page enumerates the catalog of API that will be released in JSF 1.0 (WTP 2.0). The API is broken into three categories: graduating, provisional and obsolete. Graduating API is framework that was considered provisional in previous releases and is now ready to graduate into full API status. Provisional (new) API is framework which has not been shipped in a release before and so has not had adopter soak time, but which is ready for wider adoption and refinement before being moved fully API. Obsolete API is framework that has been replaced by new framework or is being deprecated out of existence.
