This course introduces the JavaServer Faces API for Java Web application development. Proceeding from a foundation of Java, Servlets, and JSP, the course develops the best-practice concepts of MVC architecture and command-object encapsulation that propel the JSF architecture. Students create JSF Web applications by organizing their pages as JSF component trees, and their server-side code as JSF managed beans and controllers. They add data-conversion and validation logic and learn to work with JSF's data-table control.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Understand the purpose and scope of the JSF architecture
Build Web applications using JSF's FacesServlet, faces-config. xml, and the JSF request/ response lifecycle
Use the JSF custom tag libraries to build JSF views as JSPs.
Use managed beans to encapsulate not only server-side form handling but also client-side presentation logic
Implement control logic as JSF event listeners or action methods.
Use validators and converters to implement a validation phase for a JSF application.
Course Duration: 3 days.
Audience: This course is intended primarily for experienced Java application developers. Page authors, component developers, and others who may have little or no Java experience (but perhaps are stronger on HTML and JSP) may well find this to be a valuable training experience, though without solid Java skills many of the coding exercises will be difficult to follow..
Prerequisites:
Java programming experience is essential to understanding the JSF API as presented here -- Course 103 is excellent preparation.
Servlets programming experience is recommended but not required -- Course 110.
JSP page-authoring experience is required -- Course 109.
Basic knowledge of XML will be helpful, as will any previous experience with HTML
