public class AliasBean
extends javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase

The aliasBean tag allows you to link a fictive bean to a real bean. Let's suppose you have a subform you use often but with different beans.
The aliasBean allows you to design the subform with a fictive bean and to include it in all the pages where you use it. You just need to make an alias to the real bean named after the fictive bean before invoking the fictive bean.
This making it possible to have a library of reusable generic subforms.
