The welcome.xhtml page includes the simple.xhtml template page using the <ui:composition> tag. Like the
index.xhtml page, in the welcome.xhtml page, the "title" and the "content" of the template are overridden with the
page title and the page content. The page content displays a welcome message that includes the name property of the
User managed bean using the #{user.name} value expression. The page content includes a link to the introductory
page using the <h:link> tag. The <h:link> tag is a new tag that is introduced since JSF 2.0; it renders an HTML
anchor element. The value attribute of the <h:link> is rendered as the anchor text and its outcome attribute is used to
determine the target navigation page. In the welcome page, the outcome attribute value is set to "index" , which makes
an implicit navigation the "index.xhtml" page of the application.
Managed Beans
As illustrated in the Facelets pages section, there is a User managed bean that is binded with the input and output
components of the index and the welcome pages. Listing 1-8 shows the User managed bean.
