JavaServer™ Faces technology, the server-side component framework designed to simplify the development of user interfaces for Java EE applications, has been simplified and improved - especially in the area of page authoring. Explore Facelets, a powerful but lightweight page declaration language, to design JavaServer Faces views using HTML style templates and build component trees.
Learn To:
- Develop JSF pages, page templates, custom and composite components using Facelets.
- Develop CDI named beans.
- Process data conversion and validation.
- Handle events in JSF web applications.
- Design JavaServer Faces (JSF) web applications.
- Use AJAX and create custom components and composite components.
