    A prefix is used to qualify a tag as belonging to a specific tag library or in XML speak a namespace. The prefixes are declared in some way at the top of a JSF page (how depends on if you are using JSP or Facelets). An “h” usually corresponds to the HTML library but you could use any letter (or word) you wanted as the prefix. The common mappings are:

    h http://java.sun.com/jsf/html
    f http://java.sun.com/jsf/core
    c http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core
    fn http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions
    ui http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets
