What is JoinFaces?

This project enables JSF usage inside Spring Boot Application.

It autoconfigures PrimeFaces, PrimeFaces Extensions, AdminFaces, BootsFaces, ButterFaces, IceFaces, RichFaces, AngularFaces, OmniFaces, Mojarra and MyFaces libraries to run at embedded Tomcat, Jetty or Undertow servlet containers. It autoconfigures Weld and Rewrite too.
