Developing JavaServer Faces (JSF) Web
Applications
Use
Switching from pure JSP and Servlet technology to JSF development is not difficult. Developing Web UI using the JSF technology involves two aspects:
· Writing the Web pages - You develop the JSF pages in standard JSP files. This task involves the standard description of the page layout, which can be handled by a Web designer, for example.
More information: Creating the JSF UI Components.
· Developing the underlying logic - This involves developing Java classes called managed beans, which will provide the underlying logic of the Web pages. This can be handled by a Java developer.
More information: Managed Beans.
The rest of the topics in this section describe in parallel both aspects of creating the corresponding JSF component.
