What’s the difference between and in Java Facelets?

by

The <h:head> is a JSF component which provides a hook to programmatically include JavaScript and CSS resources in the generated HTML <head>. PrimeFaces uses it to include the necessary JS/CSS code for the Ajax works and fancy look’n’feel.

As a test, create a page with a <h:head> and a PrimeFaces component, open the page in the webbrowser and check the generated HTML source by rightclick – View Source. You’ll see that several JSF and PrimeFaces specific JS/CSS files are been added. Now replace <h:head> by <head> and check the generated HTML source once again, you’ll see nothing this time.
