When we design a page using JSF components like this, <h:inputText id="userName" required="true" />
and when we deploy a page using tomcat, the JSF component is converting into HTML component (when i view the source of that page) like this, <input id="_id2:userName" name="_id2:userName" type="text" value="" />
How this is happening, ie. how JSF components are converting into HTML components.
Thanks, Vinutha.

IE or any browser can not understand JSF/JSP tag. Thus it is (browser) converts all JSP/JSF tags into HTML tags.

Can you expalin in detail how browser converts JSF into HTML. because not only in JSF, If we create web pages using any technology. all those pages will convert into HTML before going to server, and after recieving response from server again the page will be HTML. so, can you expalin in steps with some pratical example.
Thanks, Vinutha.

Vinutha,
In the truth, the language that you use to build your web application (JSP, JSF, PHP,...) is converted to HTML by the server. But you can encode your response (the result of your client request) in another language as well, for example, you can encode your pages with JSF and use a JSF RenderKit to build WML output.
Bruno is correct. The user's browser ONLY understands HTML tags. Not JSP, JSF or even Microsoft ASP. PHP or Cold Fusion likewise.
The J2EE platform supports the definition of a special type of JavaBean that provides the services needed to convert a custom tag into its HTML equivalents, as well as perform any other server-side actions that might be appropriate. So you code JSF tags which are generally pretty simple and more task-related than straight HTML would be. The JSF/JEE server infrastructure then invokes these tag libraries to produce the actual HTML that will be sent to the user's browser.
Customer surveys are for companies who didn't pay proper attention to begin with.
You will see all your compiled JSP with .java and .class file. If you know Servlet technology than it will be more easy for you to understand.

JSF is converted into HTML by the HTML render kit.
Download the JSF source here (not the binary), unpack the zip and navigate to \jsf-ri\src\com\sun\faces\renderkit\html_basic\. Those are classes which renders the HTML.
