JavaServer Faces in Action
Covering the latest JavaServer Faces release
Greenwich, CT. November 17, 2004 -- JavaServer Faces is the new standard Java web application framework that helps streamline web development through the use of rich, powerful User Interface (UI) components and events. JavaServer Faces (JSF) makes web development faster and easier by masking the complexities of web development and allowing developers to concentrate on building applications.
"JavaServer Faces in Action" is an introduction, a tutorial, and a comprehensive reference for JSF written for web application developers, front-end developers, and architects. Throughout the book, the author uses numerous examples to explain standard components, custom components, renderers, converters, and validators. He builds an application as a case study to show how JavaServer Faces works and how it relates to other frameworks and technologies like Struts, Servlets, Portlets, JSP, and JSTL. Only this book covers tool support for JSF in depth, including Oracle JDeveloper, IBM WebSphere Studio, and Sun Java Studio Creator.
Advanced topics covered include how to develop pluggable classes to customize JSF's behavior and how to use JSF without JSP. "JavaServer Faces in Action" covers the latest specification changes made in JavaServer Faces.
In the foreword written by the Sun JavaServer Faces Co-specification lead, Ed Burns, he summarizes, "Kito grasps the key value-adds of JavaServer Faces and has explained them in a book that is accessible and in-depth."
