Where can I find Java-EE configuration documentation such as faces-config?

I'm new to Java-EE and I'm practicing Flow Scope in JSF. I googled and also looked through Java-EE documentation and couldn't find any description for config tags.Where can I find documentation and description for config tags such as flow's inbound and outbound parameter and other xml configs? thanks in advance.

  • The best online documentation is probably on the JavaEE GitHub pages;

    https://javaee.github.io/ https://javaserverfaces.github.io/docs/2.3/index.html

    It's a bit scattered and it can be somewhat hard to find what you are looking for, but for documentation on configuration you can view the TOC of the Java EE tutorial pages;

    https://javaee.github.io/tutorial/toc.html

    For more in-depth information specific to faces-config and/or JSF configuration there is;

    https://javaee.github.io/tutorial/jsf-configure.html#BNAWO

    For a quick and official tutorial on flows, please check out;

    https://javaee.github.io/tutorial/jsf-configure004.html#CHDGFCJF

    The JSF PDF (which is also available on these pages, but can be a bit hard to find) is pretty great and includes 500 pages of mouthwatering documentation that covers almost everything related to JSF;

    https://javaee.github.io/javaserverfaces-spec/downloads/JSF_2_3/Final/JSF_2.3.pdf

    The FlowHandler and how inboun/outbound work is described in Chapter 7.
