About Faces: All you need to know to be productive with JSF

Abstract

In this two part JavaPolis University session you will learn all you need to know to be productive with JSF. The session is presented by Ed Burns and Yara Senger. Ed has had a leadership role in JSF from its inception, and currently co-leads the Java Expert Group developing version 2.0 of the specification. Yara has extensive JSF experience and is a founder and lead instructor at GlobalCode, the largest and most successful Java training organization in South America.

In part one you will learn how JSF differs from other web frameworks, notably Struts. We will introduce the four pillars of JSF: Views, Model Interaction, Navigation, and Lifecycle. We will take you through building a sample application using existing off-the-shelf components.

In part two, you will learn how to extend JSF with custom UI Components, and other JSF extension elements. We will cover how to use Ajax with JSF and expand the sample application to demonstrate the concepts introduced.
