# 11.1 Introduction to Complex UI Components

ADF Faces components simplify user interaction. For example, `inputFile` enables file uploading, and `selectInputText` has built-in dialog support for navigating to a popup window and returning to the initial page with the selected value. While most of the ADF Faces components can be used out-of-the-box with minimal Java coding, some of them require extra coding in backing beans and configuring in `faces-config.xml`.

While the SRDemo pages use a custom skin, the descriptions of the rendered UI components and the illustrations in this chapter follow the default Oracle skin.
