Deliver feature-rich, cross-browser Internet applications using JavaServer Faces (JSF) and this one-stop guide. Written by experts directly involved in developing this important technology, JavaServer Faces: The Complete Reference fully explains every aspect of JSF. The book begins with a fast-paced introduction so you can get your first JSF application up and running quickly. Then, each aspect of JSF is examined in depth, including the request processing lifecycle, page navigation, component development, AJAX, validation, internationalization, and security. Throughout, Expert Group Insights offer an insider's view into the design of JSF. Inside you'll find:
- Comprehensive coverage of the JSF lifecycle, managed beans, expression language (EL), the Faces event, UI component, and navigation models
- Techniques for transforming and processing data from disparate sources using converters and validators
- A complete, integrated sample application to use as a model for your own JSF applications, with code available online
- Instructions on how to use Hibernate to integrate JSF with production-quality databases
- Details on building AJAX-enabled custom UI components, complete with numerous examples
- Instructions for extending Faces by building custom non-UI components ranging from validators and converters to NavigationHandlers and ViewHandlers
- Techniques for debugging and developing automated software tests for JSF applications
- Extensive discussions of third-party Faces technologies, including MyFaces, ADF Faces, Facelets, Shale, and Faces-enabled IDEs
- Detailed coverage on security (using JAAS), accessibility, internationalization, and localization with JSF
