All Implemented Interfaces:
FacesWrapper<ApplicationFactory>

ApplicationFactory is a factory object that creates (if needed) and returns Application instances. Implementations of JavaServer Faces must provide at least a default implementation of Application.

There must be one ApplicationFactory instance per web application that is utilizing JavaServer Faces. This instance can be acquired, in a portable manner, by calling:

   ApplicationFactory factory = (ApplicationFactory)
    FactoryFinder.getFactory(FactoryFinder.APPLICATION_FACTORY);
