This value is taken to be the defining document id of any <flow-definition> elements defined in this Application Configuration Resource file. If this element is not specified, the runtime must take the empty string as its value.

]]> The metadata-complete attribute defines whether this Faces application is complete, or whether the class files available to this module and packaged with this application should be examined for annotations that specify configuration information. This attribute is only inspected on the application configuration resource file located at "WEB-INF/faces-config.xml". The presence of this attribute on any application configuration resource other than the one located at "WEB-INF/faces-config.xml", including any files named using the jakarta.faces.CONFIG_FILES attribute, must be ignored. If metadata-complete is set to "true", the Faces runtime must ignore any annotations that specify configuration information, which might be present in the class files of the application. If metadata-complete is not specified or is set to "false", the Faces runtime must examine the class files of the application for annotations, as specified by the specification. If "WEB-INF/faces-config.xml" is not present, the Faces runtime will assume metadata-complete to be "false". The value of this attribute will have no impact on runtime annotations such as @ResourceDependency or @ListenerFor. Extension element for faces-config.

An "*" character, which means that this pattern applies to all view identifiers.

]]> The "from-action" element contains an action reference expression that must have been executed (by the default ActionListener for handling application level events) in order to select the navigation rule.

]]> The "navigation-rule" element represents an individual decision rule that will be utilized by the default NavigationHandler implementation to make decisions on what view should be displayed next, based on the view id being processed.

]]> Extension element for navigation-rule. It may contain implementation specific content.

]]> The "null-value" element indicates that the managed property in which we are nested will be explicitly set to null if our managed bean is automatically created.

]]> The "property" element represents a JavaBean property of the Java class represented by our parent element.
