JSF and HTML

When we design a page using JSF components like this,

<h:inputText id="userName" required="true" />

and when we deploy a page using tomcat, the JSF component is converting into HTML component (when i view the source of that page) like this,

<input id="_id2:userName" name="_id2:userName" type="text" value="" />

How this is happening, ie. how JSF components are converting into HTML components.

Thanks,

Vinutha.
