JavaServer Faces helps streamline your web
development through the use of UI components and events (instead
of HTTP requests and responses). JSF components-buttons, text
boxes, checkboxes, data grids, etc.-live between user requests,
which eliminates the hassle of maintaining state. JSF also
synchronizes user input with application objects, automating
another tedious aspect of web development.
JavaServer Faces in Action is an introduction, a
tutorial, and a handy reference. With the help of many examples,
the book explains what JSF is, how it works, and how it relates
to other frameworks and technologies like Struts, Servlets,
Portlets, JSP, and JSTL. It provides detailed coverage of
standard components, tenderers, converters, and validators, and
how to use them to create solid applications. This book will help
you start building JSF solutions today.
