Liferay Faces Version Scheme

In this article, you’ll learn which Liferay Faces artifacts should be used with your portlet and explore the Liferay Faces versioning scheme by discovering what each component of a version means. Once you have the versioning scheme mastered, you can view several example configurations.

Using The Liferay Faces Archetype Portlet

Liferay Faces Archetype portlet can be used to determine the Liferay Faces artifacts and versions that you must include in your portlet. Select your preferred Liferay Portal version, JSF version, component suite (optional), and build tool, and the portlet will provide you with both a command to generate your portlet from a Maven archetype and a list of dependencies that can be copied into your build files. In the next section, you’ll be provided with compatibility information about each version of the Liferay Faces artifacts.

Liferay Faces Alloy

Provides a suite of JSF components that utilize AlloyUI.

Branch	Example Artifact	AlloyUI	JSF API	Additional Info

The the following image refers to the Liferay Faces dependency diagram, which helps to visualize how components interact and depend on each other.

Next, you can see some example configurations to see the new versioning scheme in action.
