In this 90 minute session, Ed Burns will clear up the fog that sometimes surrounds people's understanding of this Web Application Development Framework. Ed is well suited to the task, having helped shape the design of JSF from its inception up to the present day. Upon leaving this session, the participant will know what JSF is good for, why it is good for these things, and how to be productive using it.
Everyone already knows what a web-application is and when it's appropriate to use them. Therefore, the session skips the small stuff and starts out by building a strong foundation by exploring the four pillars of JSF: the View, Model interaction, the Lifecycle, and the Navigation Model.
With these concepts firmly understood, we cover some JSF design principals and patterns used all over JSF. Patterns discussed include decorator, singleton, strategy, template method, and observer. For each pattern, its use in JSF will be covered in detail, with emphasis on how the pattern is used to enable developer customizations.
The participant then learns about Type Conversion, Validation, Events, and the flexible rendering model.
A running example will be constructed throughout the presentation.
Fully revised and updated for all of the changes in JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0, this comprehensive volume covers every aspect of the official standard Web development architecture for JavaEE. Inside this authoritative resource, the co-spec lead for JSF at Sun Microsystems shows you how to create dynamic, cross-browser Web applications that deliver a world-class user experience while preserving a high level of code quality and maintainability.
JavaServer Faces 2.0: The Complete Reference features an integrated sample application to use as a model for your own JSF applications, with code available online. The book explains all JSF features, including the request processing lifecycle, managed beans, page navigation, component development, Ajax, validation, internationalization, and security. Expert Group Insights throughout the book offer insider information on the design of JSF.
