Answer 1

What are these exactly and what this files do?

They are session scoped controller classes and some basic EJBs. They will allow you to access and persist entities object-data from and into your database. You don't need those generic controllers if you have entities classes , EJBs and managed 'backing' beans.

They are the ' C ' in the MVC (Model View Controller) user interface paradigm. 'V' is your Facelet (.xhtml, .jsf page). 'M' is the entity class.
