Learn how Java Server Faces (JSF), a complete, extensible Web UI framework, can improve and simplify development of your Java Web applications. Imagine a simple, powerful, flexible framework for building Web user interfaces; that’s JSF. This session walks through the details of building a JSF Web database application in Eclipse Web Tools and IBM’s WDSC.
 
JSF features cover: a complete UI component model, Web UI event support, better MVC implementation, better client support, simple application control, page building tools and more. Given JSF’s flexibility, we’ll look at some simple options on how to get started using JSF in your applications. Plus, get tips on troubleshooting, integrating JSF with other frameworks like Struts, how JSF can be used in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) environments.
 
By the end of this session, attendees will be able to:
1. Know how JSF simplifies Web development.
2. Define steps to build Web database apps easily.
3. Know how JSF can be applied on a variety of other applications.
