JavaServer Faces promises to bring rapid user-interface development
to server-side Java. It allows developers to painlessly write
server-side applications without worrying about the complexities of
dealing with browsers and Web servers. It also automates low-level,
boring details like control flow and moving code between web forms
and business logic.
JavaServer Faces was designed to support drag and drop
development of server-side applications," but you can also think of
it as a conceptual layer on top of servlets and JavaServer Pages
(JSP). Experienced JSP developers will find that JavaServer Faces
provides much of the plumbing that they currently have to implement
by hand. If you already use a server-side framework such as Struts,
you will find that JavaServers Faces uses a similar architecture,
but is more flexible and extensible. JavaServer Faces also comes
with server-side components and an event model, which are
fundamentally similar to the same concepts in Swing.
JavaServer Faces is quickly becoming the standard
Web-application framework. "Core JavaServer Faces" is the one book
you need to master this powerful and time-saving technology.
Without assuming knowledge of JSP and servlets, "Core JavaServer
Faces":
- shows how to build more robust applications and avoid tedious
handcoding
- answers questions most developers don't even know to ask
- demonstrates how to use JSF with Tiles to build consistent user
interfaces automatically
- provides hints, tips, and explicit "how-to" information that
allows you to quickly become more productive
- explains how to integrate JSF with databases, use directory
services, wireless apps, and Webservices
- teaches best practices and good habits like using style sheets
and message bundles
- covers all of the JSF tags and how to create new tag
libraries
