JSF is a component based framework. A web framework came into play to ease up the web app development, to make all your code clear and readable, and so and so.
Why on the earth you want to mess up all, JSF with DB? Do you like spaghetti alot?

If you're using JDeveloper, building database enabled JSF apps is a piece of cake.. Checkout the tutorials at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/index.html

Also our book - "JSF: The Complete Reference" covers building database or persistence architected apps with JSF.

In most cases, its not recommended to create data service objects, like
ResultSets and RowSets, directly in your backing beans. For small apps it works well. Whereas using a separate class, which is an implementation of the Data Table Gateway pattern [Fowler, Enterprise Pattern Architecture], is more flexible because you can unit-test it and reuse it within different backing beans.

Thanks.
