Building next-generation web applications with JSF and Facelets
Build powerful and robust web applications with Apache MyFaces
Reduce coding by using feature-rich JSF components from the Trinidad and Tomahawk subprojects.
Ensure maintainability by maximizing code reuse using Facelets.
Step-by-step and practical tutorial with lots of examples
In Detail
Hypes and trends (such as Web 2.0) cause a change in the requirements for user interfaces every now and then. While a lot of frameworks are capable of meeting those changing requirements, it often means you as a developer need in-depth knowledge of web standards, such as XHTML and javascript. A framework like Apache MyFaces that hides all details of how the page is rendered at the client and at the same time offers a rich set of tools and building blocks could save you a lot of time, not only when you're building a brand new application but also when you're adapting an existing application to meet new user interface requirements.
This book will teach you everything you need to know to build appealing web interfaces with Apache MyFaces and maintain your code in a pragmatic way. It describes all the steps that are involved in building a user interface with Apache MyFaces. This includes building templates and composition components with Facelets, using all sorts of specialized components from the Tomahawk and Trinidad component sets and adding validation with MyFaces Extensions Validator.
The book uses a step-by-step approach and contains a lot of tips based on experience of the MyFaces libraries in real-world projects. Throughout the book an example scenario is used to work towards a fully functional application when the book is finished.
This step-by-step guide will help you to build a fully functional and powerful application.
What you will learn from this book
Create appealing and easy-to-use templates with Facelets
Assure reusability of your code by constructing composition components
Build consistent looking and usable pages using Trinidad components
Use the advanced components from the Tomahawk library, that go way beyond the JSF standard
Enhance your web application by enabling AJAX functionality without writing javascript code yourself
Create dynamic applications that fit the corporate style and color scheme of your company by using the extensive skinning capabilities of Trinidad
Prevent the duplication of validation rules by adding JPA annotation-based validation with ExtVal
Optimize your JSF application in terms of performance and page size
Approach
The book is written as a step-by-step, example-driven tutorial designed to be worked through step by step working on the example code as you learn. A fun example scenario is used throughout the book and of course all source code is available to download from the author's web site. The book is packed with tips and tricks, based on experience with MyFaces in real-life projects.
Who this book is written for
This book is intended for Java developers who want to develop web frontends for their enterprise applications using Apache MyFaces as JSF implementation. Some basic knowledge of JSF is expected.
