This JavaServer Faces (JSF) course, developed by JSF In Action author Kito Mann, begins by explaining JSF, and how it relates to Struts and other web frameworks currently on the market. You learn about key JSF concepts, and some of the architectural principals behind the framework. This course is a mixture of lecture and labs, including an in-depth case study. With a basic understanding of JSF, you learn about Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) that support JSF, as well as libraries that facilitate JSF development, such as Struts Shale, JBoss Seam, and Facelets. You also learn about the current market for off-the-shelf user interface components, such as grids, menus, tool bars, trees, and tabbed panes. In addition, you will see how JSF can simplify development of Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax) user interfaces. The course then describes the fundamentals of application development: developing views, navigation, and writing backing beans. Next, you learn about the standard JSF components, how to use validators and converters, and how to work with Facelets instead of JavaServer Pages(JSP). After you are familiar with basic JSF application development, you examine JSF extension points, and learn how they can be leveraged to provide features, such as security, alternative templating technology, and access to external resources. The latter portion of the class is spent discussing third-party component suites.

who can benefit

Experienced Java web developers, architects, and team leads who want to learn about JavaServer Faces technology.

prerequisites

Before attending this JSF course, students should be familiar with the Java programming language. This course does not require prior understanding of Struts or other frameworks, but a basic understanding of Java web application development is required. Most of the examples in this course use JavaServer Pages (JSP), so familiarity with JSP is a plus.

skills gained

After successfully completing this JSF course, students will be able to:

	Utilize component-oriented development techniques
	Work with standard JSF components
	Develop custom components, validators, and converters
	Take advantage of third-party components, IDEs, and open-source projects, such as JBoss Seam, Struts Shale, and Facelets
	Put it all together in a JSF application
	Work with third-party component suites
	Integrate JSF with Struts and existing applications
