At my job I have been tasked to work on the frontend in a Java application, which I never did before, since I have been working only on the backend.

The application frontend's view layer is written in JSF packed inside .JSP files. That is not great for me, as backend boy, but I will probably figure it out with time except there is one problem:

This application uses one taglib, namely http://www.ibm.com/jsf/html_extended for which I was not able to find the documentation online. The link, of course, does not work in a web browser, and I did a google search for a documentation of this IBM JSF taglib, but I could not find a complete documentation. Without the documentation, it would be pretty hard to understand this application, especially for someone facing JSFs for the first time. If I try Control space in the Eclipse on any of the tags from this library, it gives me only tag name without any description of a tag.

For all other taglibs used in that application, like http://java.sun.com/jsf/core for example, I found the documentation without problems.

So does anyone know where to find the documentation of this IBM's library (or at least a guide on how to use it)?

You can find some documentation in the IBM Redbook: WebSphere Studio 5.1.2 JavaServer Faces and Service Data Objects. The chapter about the IBM Extension Library starts page 146.

I wasn't able to find this document on IBM's website, but you can download it from the wayback machine:
