"Provides a well-distributed focus on the what/why/how of JSF...
After I saw the Struts + JSF diagram I had an 'aha' experience,
and a sense of relief that I won't have to struggle with learning
this topic...Superb."
-- JSF Developers' Mailing list
"One of the important features of this book, as indicated by the phrase "in action" in the title, is its devotion, not only to the discussions of the definitions and concepts of JSF, but also to the detailed actions of how to develop real-world examples and applications using JSF. With about 1,000 pages (700 pages of text, plus 300 pages of online extension), this book serves both as a tutorial for JSF beginners, and as a valuable reference for seasoned developers."

"This book is particularly interesting in it's layout. It's part tutorial, part reference book, and 30% on line, not printed on dead trees. The book is designed to lead you through the maze of learning the material while allowing you to discover for yourself by exploring. It is also designed to allow the reader who needs to know some little point to get in, find that point, and go back to work on the real life project.
First the book starts with a general introduction to Faces. It shows the screen from IBM's WebSphere Application Developer, Oracle's JDeveloper, and Sun's Java Studio Creator, that's all the big IDE's and a good introduction to the kinds of support that you can find for Faces out in the real world.
It then goes on to the mandatory "Hello World" application (it presumes here that you have some experience with Java and JSP) just to get your feet a bit damp, not wet yet, but damp. After a few chapters about the architecture and standard components of Faces, the real tutorial begins with an application called ProjectTrack. Here your feet get really, really wet with web pages that combine CSS, JavaScript and of course Faces.
This concept of how to do a book really worked well for me."

Kito,
I purchased your JSF In Action ebook from Manning and am so far loving it on Chapter 2). I like knowing that what I am learning are the 'tried and true' practices by a JSF guru instead of someone that JUST learned it and wants to write a book to make some money.
Your book has actually turned around my view of JSF as before I was quite befuddled by it. Also I have to say that the diagram of framework coverages on page 18 is absolutely excellent. This diagram alone answers so many questions that so many people will have that I think it should be added to the J2EE tutorial in the JSF section introduction. There is such a general confusion about Struts/JSF and the role they play. For example I had been flip flopping for a while trying to figure out if I wanted to do both Struts and JSF, letting Struts handle navigation, but at the same time I only want to worry about one framework in my apps, your diagram helped me realize that the facilities Struts provides over JSF are not things I currently use or will need to use, so I was able to make an informed decision to go with JSF-only apps.
Thanks for the great book!

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, renderers, converters, and validators, and how to use them to create solid applications. This book will help you start building JSF solutions today.

WHAT THE READERS SAY ABOUT THIS BOOK...
"I'm new to JSF and Java but this book has been a great help.
I was searching all over the net to get info on JSF and really
didn't find documentation that cleared everything up...
Well, your book did ! I love the way it's structured, taking the
reader one step at a time into the world of JSF and explaining
WHY and HOW things are done."
