Build highly interactive Ajax-enabled applications with JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2, the standard web application framework for Java EE. JSF 2 incorporates time-saving features, such as convention-over-configuration, built-in Ajax, templating, simple custom UI component development, and several powerful third-party Ajax component suites. JSF applications can be integrated seamlessly with Spring and/or Java EE.
This course covers the key features of JavaServer Faces and walks you through building different aspects of a JSF application. You will also learn how to take advantage of rich JSF component suites such as ICEfaces, RichFaces, and PrimeFaces.
