Example page to help you choose the right JoinFaces Starter for you.

Note that xhtml, js, css and images files should be located at src/main/resources/META-INF/resources directory to JSF use them.

Look at authorize and anonymous jsf spring security facelet tags in action to secure page information.

  <sec:authorize access="hasRole('ROLE_ADMIN')">
    <p:panelGrid columns="1" rendered="#{sec:isFullyAuthenticated()}">
      <p:link title="Logout" href="/logout">
        <p:outputLabel value="You are logged in as an ADMIN" />
      </p:link>
    </p:panelGrid>
  </sec:authorize>

Very simple spring main application. Only SpringBootApplication annotation is required.
