To answer this question, we need to understand the purpose and features of the JSF configuration file.
The JSF configuration file, also known as faces-config.xml, is used to configure various aspects of a JavaServer Faces (JSF) application. It is an optional file that can be used to define navigation rules, managed beans, and custom components.
Let's go through each option to understand why it can or cannot be configured in the JSF configuration file:
A) Navigation rules - This option can be configured in the JSF configuration file. Navigation rules define the navigation flow of a JSF application, specifying which page or view to display based on user actions or outcomes.
B) Custom components - This option can be configured in the JSF configuration file. The JSF configuration file allows you to define custom components and map them to their corresponding implementation classes.
C) Managed beans - This option can be configured in the JSF configuration file. Managed beans are Java objects that are managed by the JSF framework, and the JSF configuration file is used to define these beans, their properties, and their scopes.
D) Application name - This option cannot be configured in the JSF configuration file. The application name is typically defined in other configuration files, such as the deployment descriptor (web.xml) or through the application server's configuration.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) Application name. This option cannot be configured in the JSF configuration file.
