In JSF 1.x you can hard-coded above image URL directly in the “value” attribute :

JSF…

<h:graphicImage value="resources/images/sofa.png" />

HTML output…

<img src="resources/images/sofa.png;" alt="" />

2. JSF 2.x graphicImage

In JSF 2.0, you can render above image via “resource library” concept :

JSF…

<h:graphicImage library="images" name="sofa.png" />

HTML output…

<img src="/JavaServerFaces/faces/javax.faces.resource/sofa.png?ln=images" alt="" />
