Overview

JavaServer Faces (JSF) is
quickly emerging as the leading solution for rapid user interface development in
Java-based server-side applications. Now, Core JavaServer™ Faces—the #1 guide to JSF—has been thoroughly updated
in this second edition, covering the latest feature enhancements, the powerful
Ajax development techniques, and open source innovations that make JSF even more
valuable.


Authors David Geary and Cay Horstmann
delve into all facets of JSF 1.2 development, offering systematic best practices
for building robust applications, minimizing handcoding, and maximizing
productivity. Drawing on unsurpassed insider knowledge of the Java platform,
they present solutions, hints, tips, and "how-tos" for writing superior JSF 1.2
production code, even if you're new to JSF, JavaServer Pages™, or servlets.


The second edition's extensive new
coverage includes: JSF 1.2's improved alignment with the broader Java EE 5
platform; enhancements to the JSF APIs; controlling Web flow with Shale; and
using Facelets to replace JSP with XHTML markup. The authors also introduce Ajax
development with JSF—from real-time validation and Direct Web Remoting to
wrapping Ajax in JSF components and using the popular Ajax4jsf framework.
