You can drag the Form component from
the Palette's Layout category to the Visual Designer to create a form on a page.
This component is a JavaServer Faces 1.1 component. You see components that use this
version of JavaServer Faces when your project uses J2EE 1.4 or J2EE 1.3.
The IDE creates a form for you when it creates a new page, so
you are not required to add this component to a Visual Web JSF page created
by the IDE. If you need a form within a form, you must create a virtual form instead. You can right-click a component and choose Configure Virtual Forms to create a new virtual form or to add the component to an existing virtual form.
If you do add a form component to a page, you see the form
appear as a selected box and a new form node for your page appears
in the Navigator window. You can select the form in the Navigator window, and then you can drag components onto the form.
You can also right-click the form and choose Properties to
display its Properties window.
You can select a form component in the Navigator window and delete it. However, you cannot delete the original
form created for the page because every page must have at least one
form in it.
