Published April 2014 PrimeFaces, a popular JavaServer Faces (JSF) UI framework, can be used to quickly develop sophisticated applications for the enterprise or for standard websites. This article focuses on how to efficiently build data-driven applications for the enterprise using PrimeFaces. In this article, we'll be developing an enterprise application, making use of PrimeFaces to create a user-friendly, robust experience.

What does it provide?
Bootstrap.jsp provides over 70 JSP tags, with a tag for almost every Bootstrap class, and attributes for controlling the tag output. The Bootstrap.jsp distribution comes with Bootstrap 3.1.1 bundled, so you can just install the jar file and away you go. For Example?
